As much as credit is due to Ter Stegen for the saves he pulled (at least two were utterly world-class), Levante's poor finishing let them down time and time again. While it's accepted that when you travel to Barcelona, you will never have much of the ball - but when chances crop up they must be taken.
Easier said than done, for sure, but with just 18 points in 18 games, they are just three points off the drop zone (with Deportivo La Coruna and Alaves 17th and 18th on 15 points, both having a game in hand) and even though they are likely to get wallopped around a bit by the 'big boys', improved finishing could just give them an edge in the relegation dogfight.
They're playing pretty well, a touch of class up front and they will be in La Liga for another season.
