And it’s not even a blaugrana player who opened the scoring as this is David Navarro who deceived his keeper on a pass from Jordi Alba (21st) before a second goal from Luis Suarez, played by Messi, conclusion against one in injury time (90 + 1).

Levante had chances to get back in this game where they demonstrated boldness and some defensive solidity against a Barcelona team awkward in the image of Neymar has multiplied (and failed) unnecessary charms.
