Barcelona women stumbled 2-1 against Levante on Saturday for a first home league defeat since 2019 but remained comfortably top of the Liga F table.

The reigning Spanish and European champions lead second-place Real Madrid by eight points. Their last home league loss was to Huesca in February 2019.

Barcelona have only lost one other match this season, in the Champions League in October when they fell 2-0 at Manchester City.
