Levante vs Barcelona Match Preview
Levante's European dreams face strong opposition this Wednesday in Valencia. Luis Garcia is likely to deploy a defensive formation with a strong presence on the wings to asphyxiate Barcelona's midfielders and rely on the counter-attack to reach the victory.
Levante's coach Luis Garcia misses Sergio Gonzalez, Juan Luis Gomez and Asier del Horno, all of them due to injuries. Pep Guardiola will have to do without Gabriel Milito, Carles Puyol and Adriano, greatly undermining Blaugrana's defense.
Bojan Krkic and Brazilian winger Maxwell are fully fit, and would most likely return to the starting eleven, as Guardiola wants them to recover their form as soon as possible, focused on the final against Manchester United by the end of the month.
Cristiano Ronaldo has left Lionel Messi far too behind in the chase to become La Liga's top scorer. With 36 goals, the Portuguese opened a five-goal advantage from the Argentinean, who has not been particularly effective in the last few Liga games.
Javier Mascherano could return to the back line, joining Gerard Pique, Daniel Alves and Maxwell. Levante could reach the 9th position upon a victory, do Garcia's Granotas have what it takes to defy Liga leader Barcelona?
