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

Iniesta shapes to shoot from 22 yards out, before threading a clever reverse ball through the defence instead. Pedro reads it, but just can't reach it before Reina, who is looking sharp

Xavi tries to roll a diagonal ball through to Alves on the right but it's cut out

Levante have 10 men behind the ball the moment Barca retrieve possession, and another move breaks down as the hosts struggle to negotiate the packed Levante penalty area

He plays a square ball to Villa, who launches a high pass out of play. They're starting to look a tad frustrated, Barca...

Xavi on the ball in the middle of the park for Barca, approaching the final third

Juanlu tries to latch onto a slick through ball along the left wing, but is caught a yard offside

Barca back in possession, but clearly lacking a traditional outlet up front at the moment. Villa is playing very wide

Del Horno receives the ball back from the throw, and fires it low across goal towards Juanlu! Barca's makeshift defence struggle to hack the ball clear! Abidal eventually comes away with the ball, but the Barca defence is looking increasingly creaky in this match

Del Horno with a throw deep in Barca's half...

Not the easiest of chances, but Alves should've scored, nonetheless! Barca getting closer and closer to taking the lead...

Iniesta drives into the box in the left channel, and cuts a clever ball towards the near post. It cannons off a defender, into Reina and clear, but only as far as DANI ALVES WHO HOOKS THE BALL HIGH AND WIDE FROM FIVE YARDS!

Bojan hares into the box to latch onto a fine through ball, and Reina comes out to challenge him! Bojan comes away with the ball, and SHOOTS! BLOCKED ON THE LINE!

Quickly switched left, before David Villa goes for a long diagonal ball to the left. Mesmerising stuff, but the ball in is cleared

Alves with the ball, deep on the right wing

OVER THE BAR! Cracking effort from the striker, curling a peach of a right-footed freekick just over the left corner of the goal

Villa stands over the ball...

Pallardo and Xavi Torres combine to barge Iniesta off the ball, and the ref blows for a free kick 25 yards out

Barca continuing to hustle, but Levante also continuing to defend in numbers

The linesman's flag is up! Jorda was offside, so it wouldn't have counted if he'd scored anyway. That's a real wake up call for Barca, nonetheless!

Abidal chases a high ball back towards his own goal, before playing a dangerous ball back to Valdes. Valdes tries a low pass wide to the left wing which goes straight to a black shirt! The ball is played in low to JORDA WHO SHOOTS! SAVED BY VALDES! What a chance for Levante to open the scoring!

Lovely football from Barca, as a cheeky dummy lets the ball on to Maxwell on the left flank who crosses deep to Villa. Villa leaps to head the ball back across goal, but the ball is cleared
