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.

Here we go! Barcelona in green start the proceedings in Valencia.
