Barça is smiling once again this season after suffering two consecutive defeats. The Catalans secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Levante on Sunday night.

Following Real Madrid's loss yesterday at Osasuna's ground (1-2), FC Barcelona stepped up. The Catalan club took full advantage of their win against Levante (3-0) to seize the top spot in LaLiga, now holding a one-point lead over their Madrid rivals.

At Camp Nou, the Blaugrana got the job done early, with Bernal opening the scoring from a Garcia cross in the 4th minute. De Jong doubled the advantage, converting a Cancelo delivery in the 32nd, before Fermín wrapped things up with a brilliant strike in the 81st.
