VS
Levante vs Real Madrid carries a clear historical edge for Madrid, but Levante have shown that an organised home performance can disrupt the expected order in this fixture. Levante won 2–1 in March 2018, while Real Madrid answered 4–2 in Madrid in February 2012 and 2–0 in January 2026. Future meetings will ask whether Levante can create another break from the pattern.

Stats for this game
Matchup Levante VS Real Madrid
Madrid’s standards frame the fixture
Real Madrid usually enter this pairing with the deeper resources and greater expectation. They won 5–0 at Levante in October 2014 and 6–0 at home in May 2022, scorelines that show how quickly the gap can become visible. Yet Levante’s 2–1 home win on 2 March 2018 and a 3–3 draw in Valencia in August 2021 provide reminders that the setting can unsettle Madrid.
Resistance needs a complete performance
On 23 September 2025, Real Madrid won 4–1 at Levante, and the return at the Santiago Bernabéu on 17 January 2026 ended 2–0. Madrid’s official report described a well-organised Levante defence holding firm before Kylian Mbappé’s penalty and Raúl Asencio’s header settled the game. The result illustrates the recurring task: Levante can delay Madrid, but must sustain that resistance.
A new meeting will ask whether Levante turn a disciplined start into a genuine upset chance or Madrid find the spell that breaks the game open. That established hierarchy, with room for a sharp home reply, keeps the matchup meaningful.
