FC Barcelona achieved an impressive comeback on Saturday, edging out Levante 3-2 thanks to a late own goal during LaLiga action. Despite trailing by two goals at halftime, Barcelona maintained their confidence and quickly began to shift the momentum in the second half.
Substitutions made by coach Hansi Flick, including pulling out Marcus Rashford and Marc Casado for Gavi and Dani Olmo, proved crucial. Pedri initiated the scoring with a phenomenal shot from beyond the box, before Raphinha set up Ferran Torres to level the score, both within the first seven minutes after the break.
The deciding goal came from defender Unai Elgezabal, who headed in a curling cross delivered by young sensation Lamine Yamal in the dying moments of the match. Yamal maneuvered down the right wing and made a critical play that ultimately sealed the victory. Here’s an exciting tweet capturing the moment:

This victory is significant for Barcelona, particularly early in the season, as it places distance between them and Atletico Madrid, who have struggled with only one point in two matches.
