Lamine Yamal scored twice as Barcelona won 4-2 away to Levante, extending their winning start to the LaLiga season to five matches and keeping them three points clear at the top of the table.

Levante scored twice at home and still lost by two goals. The result is reported as Barcelona's fifth league win in five matches, the maximum return from the opening weeks of the campaign.

Levante hosted the game and took nothing from it, which leaves them on the wrong side of a high-scoring afternoon. Six goals in a single match is a scoreline that flatters neither defence, with both sides conceding twice.

Barcelona have taken the maximum available points from their opening five fixtures. The lead is reported as three points, so a first dropped result would not immediately cost them top spot.

Yamal's brace was the decisive contribution. Two goals from the same player separated the sides, with the other four shared across the two teams.

Analysis: a five-match winning start gives Barcelona a buffer that survives one poor afternoon, and it shifts the burden onto the chasing clubs to keep winning simply to stay in touch.

The counterweight is that three points is a single result's worth of daylight. A defeat for Barcelona combined with a win for the nearest challenger would cut the gap sharply, which is why the rest of the round matters.

What is not yet known

Who scored Barcelona's other two goals has not been established, and neither the goal times nor the two starting line-ups have been confirmed. It is also unclear whether Yamal completed the match or was substituted.

Barcelona, Levante and LaLiga have not commented on the match. The club sitting second in the table has not been identified, and the size of the lead will only settle once the rest of the round is played.

What happens next

Barcelona's next LaLiga fixture follows in the coming days, after the remainder of this round has been completed. The standings will be recalculated then, and the three-point margin may look different.

Neither club has given any indication of team news or player availability for what comes next.
