Good afternoon and welcome to our live text commentary of Barcelona v Levante!

FULL TIME! It's all over in Barcelona, and the hosts have a surprisingly narrow 2-1 win over Levante. Gutsy performance from the visitors, but they leave Catalunia pointless

All 11 men go forwards for Levante, but Valdes comes up with a brave punch to clear the danger

He tries to make amends by giving Levante another free kick in a similar position, and forwards goes Reina!

Levante with a free kick wide right. Swept into the area, and the referee inexplicably blows for a Barcelona free kick. Awful decision by the ref

We'll have three minutes of stoppage-time at the Camp Nou!

Villa has the ball in the back of the net with a lovely chip over the head of Reina, but he's already been flagged offside

Yellow card Busquets - for timewasting. Slightly harsh, that

Alves lets fly from range, and the shot is only just wide of the left post - he's desperate to get a goal now, the Brazilian!

Alves storms off along the right wing, and enters the area with no defenders anywhere near him! He's got two Barca shirts along side him, and all he has to do is square it to Villa... BUT HE'S FLUFFED IT! He scoops the ball too powerfully across the face of goal, and a clear goal-scoring opportunity has evaporated!

Alves cuts the ball inside to Thiago, who plays Villa into space in the right of the penalty area. He jinks through two defenders with some unbelievable footword, but the eventual shot is blocked, and lands wide of the near post

Taken short again, and Abidal dinks the ball right to Alves

The Barcelona players' body language has completely changed after that goal! Pedro tries to get his team going with another charge down the left flank, and wins a corner with a deflected shot

Valdo receives the ball wide right for Levante, who is charged down by Abidal. Levante throw-in

Barca back on the ball, and there's a quiet disbelief all around the Nou Camp.

GOAL! LEVANTE GET ONE BACK WITH A STUANI STUNNER! The substitute enters the area on a rare Levante attack, and charges forwards to meet a dinked ball from Valdo. He connects with the ball on the volley, which absolutely screams inside Valdes's left post!

Metronomic passing from Barca, and Villa stumbles into the area! He shrugs off Robuste, but Reina forces him out wide. The ball falls to Alves, who falls over and across the touchline. Goal kick...

Barcelona substitution: Maxwell off, Milito on

Levante finally manage to string a couple of passes together, and Stuani shows some nice footwork on the right wing. His final ball is wayward though, and Barca are back on the ball - trying to improve their 76% possession so far in the match...

Xavi splits the defence with a neat ball through to Pedro on the left again, but Pedro's ball back finds a black shirt. Cleared as far as the Barca defence, and the hosts attack again. None-stop defending for Levante

Pedro flies off along the left wing, before squaring a lovely ball back towards VILLA! The striker is well marshalled, and his shot is blocked immediately
