Barcelona won their second straight game to begin the La Liga season on Saturday with a dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Levante, and Hansi Flick’s men made some history with that victory. According to Opta, Saturday’s comeback was Barça’s first-ever victory in La Liga when trailing 2-0 at halftime this entire century.

BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) -Barcelona staged a thrilling second-half comeback to defeat Levante 3-2 in the LaLiga on Saturday, overcoming a two-goal deficit after a poor first-half display. Barcelona fell behind early in the match as Ivan Romero capitalised on space inside the box to slot home in the 15th minute.

Instead, it was Levante who doubled their lead before halftime. Alejandro Balde was called for a penalty after it was deemed he deliberately blocked a shot with his hand. José Luis Morales calmly stepped up and dispatched the penalty with the final kick of the first half.
