The Valencia outfit produced an impressive attacking display in the earlier leg to the Whites at the Bernabeu when they stole a two-goal lead in the first-half en route to a historic victory. Now in the return leg, Levante were at it again, putting their mighty guests to the sword with menacing offensive play.

Real Madrid were only clawing their way back in the match after Levante's spirited start, but the hosts turned the tides again and almost grabbed the lead when Roberto Pier's corner kick was arrowed against the post by Marti. Pier was then gifted a chance shortly after, but blazed his shot from the centre of the box into row Z.

It wouldn't be an overstatement to suggest Levante should've been up by two goals before half-time, but missed another glorious chance when Marti struck against the post after going one-on-one with Thibaut Courtois. The Levante striker did eventually get his goal, but more clinical finishing would've ensured a historic league double over Real Madrid.
