At the venue of Levante, in the first half, Barcelona was not in their best form or we can say that they failed to show their regular form though all top-rated players were in the squad. Their attacking division consisted of Messi-Suarez-Griezmann but it could not help. As usual, they possessed the ball most of the time and also dominated the ground. They planned to make the attack by keeping their defense secure. In the 32nd minute of the game, Barcelona got their first important chance. Messi’s pass found the French striker Griezmann but the French forward’s Conakry shot could not escape the goalkeeper.
However, six minutes later, with a successful spot-kick, Lionel Messi led the Catalan club ahead. Nelson Semedo went into the box but was fouled there. So, the Spanish giants got a penalty. Including the goal, the Argentine striker scored 22 goals against Levante by playing 20 matches.

In the new season of La Liga, the Barcelona skipper scored goals in the three matches consecutively and considering all the competitions, he found the net in four matches so far. Levante went behind but in the 2nd half, within just seven minutes, they scored three goals and took control of the game.
Against the local team, all of a sudden the Catalan club became cornered. Messi-Suarez could not get rid of it. In the 61st minute, Lenglet failed to clear the ball and so, the La Liga champion conceded the first goal. Just two minutes later, the local team went ahead through the goal of Borja Mayoral and in 68th minute, Radoja made the scoreline 3 - 1.
