Finally Success for Levante

Who plays for Levante? This question has been asked multiple times this year and it is because of their recent success in La Liga. Levante was originally founded in 1909 and was one of the best football clubs in Valencia, Spain. The team started out in Spain's 2nd tier team, the Spanish Segunda Divison, and and was promoted to play in La Liga after finishing as runners-up in the Segunda Divison. They managed to defeat two notable teams, their crosstown rivals Valencia CF and La Liga leader FC Barcelona. Although Levante was relegated to the Segunda Divison twice after that, they managed keep hold of their place in La Liga after the 2007-08 season.


During the 2010-11 season, they managed to barely avoid being relegated by coming in 4th to last place in the standings. However, in the 2011-12 season, they played with impressive form. Levante went on a 6 game win streak and at one point was the La Liga leader in points. It was the first time in it's club's history hat it had reached the top of the table in points. Levante proved themselves by beating the top two teams in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Levante's success this season this year has been remarkable and hasn't gone unnoticed by many people. Levante is now joins Real Madrid and Barcelona as tough teams to beat in La Liga. Levante have been receiving praises from all over Spain, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola stated, " They've done things really well, that's why they are top; they did well last season and their defense is a key part of their success, it's spectacular." Levante is now a top competitor and players on the team such as Juanlu and Xavi Torres are becoming superstars.
