10 matches without a win for Levante
The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Levante are no longer polite ones.
Match12 Apr 2027
Levante are in real trouble now
Position 18, 22 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

A falling-out at Levante
Jeremy Toljan and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The crowd has taken to Karl Etta Eyong
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

One of those days for Karl Etta Eyong
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.05, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Words at Levante training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jorge Cabello is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Dani Requena gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Honours even between Levante and Alavés
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Mathew Ryan asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
In brief
- The dugout Antonio Flores on the point
- Squad Hugo Sotelo suspended
- The dugout Levante keep their word to Jon Ander Olasagasti
