Atletico Madrid slump 2-0 at Levante, Barca arrive in Pamplona

Atletico Madrid slumped to a 2-0 defeat at promoted Levante in La Liga on Saturday, making it three defeats in a week for the misfiring Europa League holders.

Defender Nano headed Levante in front from a corner after three minutes and Ecuador striker Felipe Caicedo sealed the win with a wonderful finish in the 59th.

Atletico, who lost 3-2 at home to Espanyol and Aris Salonika over the past week, stayed seventh with 20 points from 14 matches.

They are 14 adrift of leaders Barcelona who arrived in Pamplona just minutes before the scheduled kickoff time of 1900 GMT to play Osasuna.

Pep Guardiola's side were forced to travel by train and coach after an air traffic controllers strike spoiled their plans to fly in the morning.

Confusion over whether the game had been postponed until Sunday added to their delay.
