Real stayed second in LaLiga on 48 points from 20 matches, one behind leaders Barcelona, who have a game in hand and visit Real Sociedad on Sunday. Levante are 19th with 14 points.
The win also snapped Real’s two-match losing run and offered brief respite after a bruising week.
They looked flat in the first half, still carrying the scars of Sunday’s 3-2 Spanish Super Cup final defeat by Barcelona, followed by the departure of manager Xabi Alonso and a shock 3-2 Copa del Rey exit to second-division Albacete.
