Last night, the powerful Barcelona leading the Spanish La Liga only had to meet their junior team Levante. Levante have almost no chance of winning despite playing at home. Before this match, Levante had lost 4/8 of their most recent matches, while Barcelona had won 8 consecutive matches.
However, the above statistics are for reference only. Despite Messi being in very good form and opening the scoring for Barcelona on the 11m mark in the 38th minute, Levante players still played as if they were in the bronze, scoring 3 goals in a row in just 7 minutes in the second half (Campana 61', Borja Mayoral 63', Radoja 68') to incredibly take all 3 points.
Barcelona lost their third match since the beginning of the tournament but fortunately did not lose the top spot, because one day the unlucky strikers, another "big guy", Real Madrid, dominated Real Betis but was still held to a 0-0 draw. Real are tied with Barcelona but are behind due to a lower secondary index.
It is also worth mentioning that the third team Atletico Madrid only got one point against Sevilla. With all three leading teams losing points, the top 3 rankings in La Liga have not changed.
In Germany, the shock was even greater, when Bayern Munich suffered a 1-5 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. The harmful red card of center back Jerome Boateng in the 9th minute caused Bayern Munich to collapse early. The "Gray Tigers" scored only 1 goal thanks to Robert Lewandowski, while allowing the opponent to score 5 goals. It must be remembered that in the past decade, Bayern have never lost so much in the Bundesliga.
After 10 rounds in Bundesliga 2019/20, Bayern dropped to 4th place with 18 points, which caused coach Niko Kovac's seat to shake fiercely. The three teams temporarily leading the Bundesliga are Borussia Monchengladbach (22 points), Borussia Dortmund (19 points) and Leipzig (18 points).
In France, Paris Saint Germain had an "unimaginable" loss to Dijon. Before this match, Dijon had lost 5/11 matches, scoring only 5 goals, at the bottom of the table. However, despite star Mbappe's goal to help PSG take the lead, the "rich man" of the capital Paris is still the team that lost 1-2, ending a streak of 6 consecutive wins.
In England, there were almost earthquake surprises. Until the 87th minute, Liverpool were still led 1-0 by newly promoted Aston Villa. Fortunately, with their bravery, in the remaining few minutes, Liverpool scored 2 goals in a row (Andy Robertson 87' and Sadio Mane 90+4'), helping the team continue to lead with 6 points ahead of Man City - the club, but it was not until the 86th minute that they had to seal a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Southampton.
Unlucky like the two giants mentioned above, Man United suffered a painful 0-1 loss to Bournemouth, right at the time when the team's fans were confident that the club was reviving strongly after the draw with Liverpool and 3 consecutive victories, including the victory over Chelsea in the English League Cup.
Man United are currently 10th in the Premier League with 13 points, 7 points behind 4th-placed Leicester City, having played 1 more match. Now perhaps the "Red Devils"' goal right now is just to find a place in the Europa League next season.
