LIONEL MESSI
Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez hit first-half goals to help Barcelona see off Levante and maintain their nine point lead at the top of La Liga.
It only took 12 minutes for them to open the scoring against the weakened visitors, with Jordi Alba heading the ball down for Messi to volley home in off the post.
That destroyed Levante’s defensive game-plan and made the rest of the match a formality.
Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez both came close before the Uruguayan forward battered home the second in the 38th minute, a searing strike from Sergi Roberto’s volleyed cross.
Paulinho added the gloss to the scoreline late on, converting from close range after Messi’s fine dribble and cross.
