Toljan tapped the cross from the left, and Romero first played the dummy and then went for the goal to beat Joan Garcia.

Levante 0-1 Barcelona

Balde's shot from the edge of the box was deflected and it could have gone anywhere. It goes for a corner.

Marcus Rashford tries his luck with a lofted shot from the left. But Cunat was cautious and made the save.

I think you will have to hear this term all over the next 90 minutes. Barcelona are playing in the midfield, actually. 

On the left, inside the box, he nearly dribbled past three defenders before he was blocked, and Barcelona won the corner.

Morales scores for Levante but he is offside by a mile. 

Except for Morales, everyone is keeping their position, and Levante's shape is 5-4-1, and they would look to score in a counterattack. 

Raphinha, who is playing a bit central tonight, takes a shot from outside the box. He skied the ball up in the air while doing that.

Rashford, on the left, from close range, wanted to score from the byline. However, Cunat, who is the main goalkeeper of Spain U-21 team, made the save.

Do not know if he was looking for Rashford or if he was going for the goal, but Lamine could not get a proper connection. The deflection allowed Barcelona have thier first corner.

From the start, Barcelona has kept a very high line. Ivan Romaro was caught offside.

No changes from either team as Osasuna get us away in the second half. 

Target achieved for Osasuna as they have been able to head into the tunnel without conceding a goal. 

They defended deep and worked hard to frustrate the Los Blancos. 

Mbappe had a few chances, Vinicius too, Huijsen took a few shots, while Militao also was on target once. But, still, they have not been able to break the shackles. 

Real Madrid 0-0 Osasuna at halftime.

Bretones makes a good block as Mbappe's spectacular acrobatic attempt from close range was negotiated well. 

Boyomo had pushed down Vinicius inside the box as he went for the ball. 

But the push was not that hard to call as a penalty. 

Huijsen takes another chance as there were no Real Madrid players inside the box.

He took the chance but was not on target. 

For the first time in the match, Osasuna had the chance to go for the goal. 

Militao's clearance was not good, and it fell right for Budimir to go for the goal. 

However, from the edge of the box, a bit left, he missed the target. 

Vinicius has now taken Mbappe's spot and went for a shot from left, towards the far post. 

He missed the shot completely.

From the right of the box, Mbappe targeted the far post with a curling effort. However, the ball did not curl enough to get into the goal. 

A warm welcome for Jude Bellingham, who is in attendance tonight. He will miss the first few weeks due to the shoulder injury.

He will have to keep making these saves. 

Real Madrid are now looking to shoot from outside the box. 

Eder Militao, from 30 meters, went for a long shot. It bounced and was swinging as well. A good dive and save from Herrera 

Vini's cutback from the byline found Mbappe. However, his turning left-footed attempt was not good enough to beat Herrera. 

It was not a good save, but it was safe. 

Real Madrid have looked to try a few different things with Huijsen coming a bit forward, Mbappe switching to the left and other things. 

But, Osasuna have been solid, brave and aggressive in defence. 

Huijsen's right-footed volley from outside the box has been dealt well by Herrera. 

The ball was going away from him and had bounced in front of him. But a well strechted dive helped him to make the save.

A perfectly timed challenge from Boyomo as he won the ball from Kylian Mbappe, who has swiftly changed the side and then tried to make a way through the defenders.

Not sure yet, but surely it is all defensive from the Osasuna team. They are looking to frustrate the Los Blancos and go goalless in the first 20 minutes.

Enough of waiting for Carreras. He goes for the goal from the left of the box with a left-footed shot. He missed the far post by a meter. 

It is not three, but five people in defence for Osasuna. Madrid are keeping the ball and waiting for a mistake from the opponent. 

Osasuna have looked to defend from the start. Although they have a high line, they have been able to stop Vinicius from making a move on the left. The have kept the back-four intact quite well.

Here we go!
