Ga kungiyoyin da suka haura, basu da komai sai kwarin gwiwa, kuma kwarin gwiwar su ya dogara ne ga tsarin wasansu da kuma yadda suka fara gasar. Wasan Levante da Girona ya nuna cewa zasu iya cutar da kungiyoyi idan sun samu damar kirkirar damammaki ga kansu.

Suna da karin harin cin kwallo daga Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius yana taka rawa sosai a tsakiya, kuma Thibaut Courtois yana kare ragar, wanda hakan ya sa su suka zama babbar barazana. Duk da haka, kwallon kafa tana tunatar da mu akai-akai—David har yanzu yana iya jefa duwatsu a kan kan Goliath.

Komawar Levante ga saman kwallon kafa ta Spain ba ta kasance da cikakken daukaka ba.
