Spain`s championship champion, Barcelona, lost 4:5 as a guest from Levante in a crazy match analyzed by contact messi from the last 37th round of La Liga. Emmanuel Boateng made a hat-trick (9, 31, 49) for the Levante team, who had already secured his stay in the elite. Enis Bardhi (46, 56) was the author of the other two goals for Levante, and with a hat-trick for Barca he scored Philippe Coutinho (38, 59, 64). Luis Suarez (71-point) scored the last ninth goal in the match, which will be remembered for a long time. Ernesto Valverde`s team remains with 90 points on top, and today suffers its first loss for the Spanish Championship season. This ended the amazing record series of 43 consecutive encounters of the Catalonians without defeat at the Spanish Championship. Barca`s last loss to La Liga was just 400 days ago - April 2017 from Malaga to La Rosa. It should be noted that the Catalans were today without Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, who received a break. In his last season`s meeting, Barca accepts Real Sociedad`s Camp Nou. Levante is 15th in the 46th place, and in the last round he is on Celta.
In the 9th minute Jose Morales made a great breakthrough and handed Barca Emanuel Boateng to Barca`s defense. The Ghanaian striker was almost at goal and did not make a mistake, bringing Levante ahead in the score.
Just 2 minutes after Boateng`s goal, the hosts missed a golden chance for 2:0. The defeat of the Catalans was overcome again, and the Macedonian Ennis Bardy found himself in the penalty box of the los coules but his shot met the crossbar.
In the 25th minute, Ousmane Dembele threatened the opponent's door, but it did not reach the goal. In the middle of the second round, Belgian defender Barca Thomas Vermaelen got injured and could not continue the match, and in the 29th minute he was replaced by Gerard Pique. Only two minutes after the forced change, the visitors` defense again cracked and this allowed Boateng to jump to an excellent position in the penalty area. The Ganaese face-mask first crossed the goalkeeper Mark-Andre Ter Stegen, then defeated himself with a los cuples defender and eventually ended up on an empty door. The players of Ernesto Valverde still returned a goal in the 38th minute, with Philippe Coettinho`s author. The Brazilian offensive midfielder shoots from the arc of the penalty area, the ball deviates slightly from the body of the Levante player, lures the guard Oyer and finds himself in the net. At the very end of the first half, the ball met Pique`s hand in Barca`s penalty area, but it was tightly close to the body and the distance was rather small and the referee felt there was no reason to adjudge a penalty for the hosts. Seconds after the start of the second half the hosts made an excellent counterattack after a m isconduct of Jordi Alba, the ball reached Enis Bardhi and the Macedonian with a terrible shot from the arc of the penalty area mattered Ter Stegen - 3:1. It seemed that the evening turned into a real nightmare for the Catalans in the 50th minute when Boateng formed his hat-trick. The Ganoese was drawn into the penalty area of the guests and crossed Terre Stegen - 4:1. Boateng stood up
