They held on though, and only one point separates the top two in the league, with Barca leading with 88 points.
Real travel to Deportivo La Coruña for their curtain closer of the campaign, while Barcelona take on Granada.

Fernando Torres, who has scored six goals in his last 10 games, got the ball rolling in the second minute, but it wasn’t enough for Diego Simeone’s side.
Levante fought back to take the three points, with VĂctor CasadesĂşs in the 30th minute and Giuseppe Rossi, agonisingly, in the 90th minute spoiling Atletico’s chances of piping rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid to the La Liga trophy.
