La Liga leaders Barcelona are being held by Levante at the halfway stage of tonight's match at Estadi Ciutat de Valencia.

Home side Levante took the lead in the 10th minute when Loukas Vyntra rose highest to plant Nabil El Zhar's corner past Victor Valdes.

Barca were level before the 20th minute, though, as centre-back Gerard Pique headed home from a corner.

The rest of the opening period was a fairly untidy affair, with Xavi spurning the clearest opening by shooting wide from Pedro's pass.
