Beat Malaga 3-0 today and are 2nd in the table on the same amount of points as Barca.For a team that has constantly been in and out of the first division I have to say , they are quite good this year.

That's what happens when you bench Rondón for past it RVN.

Levante while in awesome form, we all know they will frack up every now and then.

Was reading Spanish-based journalist Sid Lowe's article about Levante's incredible start to the season.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/oct/17/levante-la-liga-expendables-2

Some great stats:

For the first time in their entire history, Levante have won five games in a row.

The only trophy Levante have ever won is the Copa de la República in 1937 during the civil war.

Levante have conceded the fewest goals in the division and have only been outscored by Madrid and Barcelona.

This summer, Málaga spent almost €60m on players; Levante spent €210,000: €150,000 on Miguel Pallardó and €60,000 for Pedro López.

Málaga spent more money on signings this summer than Levante have spent in their entire history.

And this weekend Levante were without Xavi Torres because he is a Málaga player and they had applied one of those crapping-yourself-clauses. Levante decided that they could not afford the fee for him to play. It would have cost them €50,000.

This summer, they spent €1m on Felipe Caicedo – but only so that they could exercise the buy-option and sell him on.

Their most expensive player cost €300,000 and their last 50 players have cost a combined total of under €400,000.

Each season's wages total €6.5m for the entire squad. Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi alone earn twice that. Their entire budget is €22m. The club they are currently level with, FC Barcelona, have a budget 20 times the size at €461m.

The team Levante put out on Sunday against Malaga was the oldest in La Liga's history, with a combined age of 346.

Only Racing Santander have had less possession this season than Levante.

According to the club doctor, the secret to Levante's success this season is even more simple and somehow even more appropriate: pizza and beer.

Remarkable Cool
