Barcelona Women stunned by Levante in first Liga F defeat in 46 games

Barcelona Women suffered a stunning 2-1 home defeat to Levante on Saturday, marking their first Liga F loss in 46 matches. The shock result comes just a week after Barça’s dominant 5-0 Super Cup victory over Real Madrid, highlighting the unpredictability of the league.

Despite Barça’s dominance this season, Levante struck first in the 50th minute with a thunderous goal from Maria Alharilla. The visitors then doubled their lead in stoppage time, as Ivonne Chacon capitalized on a late opportunity.

Barcelona managed to pull one back just a minute later through Fridolina Rolfö, but the late effort wasn’t enough to salvage their unbeaten record.

Despite the setback, Barcelona remains at the top of Liga F with 48 points, maintaining a strong lead in the title race. Levante, meanwhile, are 15th in the table with 13 points, battling to avoid relegation.

The defeat marks Barcelona’s first league loss since May 2023, a rare stumble for the reigning champions, who will look to bounce back in their next fixture.
