Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Copa del Rey last 16 first leg between Levante and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 8.30pm.

Mayoral already has a goal to his name this evening and has been a thorn in the side of the Barcelona defence. Might Real Madrid have kept him, given their lack of attacking options?

Barcelona supporters have argued for quite some time that Valverde should rotate his squad more, but did he make too many changes this evening? Has he destabilised his side?

Where is Coutinho? This is the chance the Brazilian playmaker has been waiting for having spent the past few weeks on the bench and yet this game is passing him by.

Cillessen looks exasperated with his defence. It's understandable, but the Barcelona goalkeeper must be careful not to break down the confidence of the players in front of him.

There's no fluidity in this Barcelona team. It's clear that many of these players haven't played together before this evening. Worrying for the Catalans. A third goal for Levante would be disastrous.

The home fans believe that Vidal should have been shown a yellow card for charging into a challenge on Rochina, and looking at the replays they might well have a case.

It must be said that Dembele has looked dangerous for Barcelona in this first half, but the summer signing, who has struggled to make an impression this season, has lacked a cutting edge.

Valverde will have some serious questions to answer if Barcelona don't find a way to turn this match, and this tie around. The starting lineup didn't look right even from the start.

Murillo has had a nightmare so far. The newbie looks so uncomfortable in the centre of the Barcelona defence against this Levante team who are pressing high on the Catalans.

This has been so poor from Barcelona at the start of this first half. They don't look sure of the system that they are playing. There's not even a 'false nine.' They are just leaving the position empty.

The first yellow card of the match and it's shown to Murillo. He's had a very difficult first 25 minutes.

Malcom should score! The Barcelona winger was through one-on-one with the Levante goalkeeper, but it's Fernandez who comes out on top in this particular duel, making the save.

Dembele shoots on goal! That was a chance for the French winger to get a goal back for Barcelona, bundling his way through before getting a shot away. Fernandez makes the save.

Barcelona have given themselves a mountain to climb in the first half of this match. Remember, this is a two-legged affair, but still, this would be a huge win for Levante.

Alena is one of the players who needs to start dictating this match for Barcelona. He is young, but has the ability to control a game like this. Barca need him to start showing that.
