The Levante Courier
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Iván Romero runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match12 Sep 2026
4 matches without a win for Levante
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Levante are no longer polite ones.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
The crowd has taken to Dani Requena
At 22 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.

Ignacio Vázquez steps up from the Levante academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ignacio Vázquez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Luka Santiago steps up from the Levante academy

Dani Requena stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.84 on the card, and the Levante support went home talking about one name.
Squad14 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Víctor García
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Víctor García, and the manager let it.
Match12 Sep 2026
Levante and Getafe take a point apiece
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Levante pick somebody else ahead of Javi Manquillo
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
In brief
- Squad Javi Manquillo knocks on the manager’s door
- Squad Dani Requena is off the mark for Levante
- Market Levante add cover with Karim Jurjo
