Last week's 7–0 drubbing of Valencia in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals at Camp Nou essentially rendered this week's return leg at the Mestalla rather meaningless. Barring Armageddon, FC Barcelona will play 90 minutes of football on Wednesday night and then have their ticket stamped for the May final.
The 2-0 defeat of Levante means that Barça have now gone 28 games unbeaten in all competitions, matching the all-time record for Spanish football set by Pep Guardiola’s amazing team of 2010/11.
"Nothing we did not expect." That was how FC Barcelona boss Luis Enrique summed his side’s hard fought 2-0 away win at Levante in the post-game press conference. The blaugrana coach had warned of the difficulties facing his side in his pre-game appearance before the press and his intuition was not mistaken with Barça having to work their socks off right until the last minute to claim a valuable three points.
Luis Enrique said before this match that he was taking nothing for granted against the team currently propping up the Liga table. Levante need points and have used the transfer to considerably strengthen their squad.
FC Barcelona' 2–0 victory over Levante on Sunday not only kept them at the top of the league table, it also produced a series of curious numbers. Here's a look at the most interesting facts and figures surrounding the game.

With FC Barcelona alive and well in all three competitions, there are still plenty of teams out there that will have a shot — if they haven't already had one — at the regining La Liga, Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League titleholders.
