SECOND-HALF GOALS from Marc Bartra, Neymar and Lionel Messi helped Barcelona to a 4-1 La Liga win over Levante at Camp Nou on Sunday, with the Argentine superstar’s penalty miss not proving decisive.
The Catalans created numerous chances in the opening 45 minutes, yet sloppy finishing prevented them from opening the scoring.
They more than made up for it after the interval, though, as Bartra, Neymar and Messi all found the net within the space of 11 minutes to effectively put the match to bed.
Victor Casadesus did pull one back for Levante, but they were never able to really threaten Barca in the remainder of the game.
Messi, having already netted from 12 yards, blasted a second penalty over the crossbar in the 75th minute but did double his tally with a trademark finish right at the end.
The victory sees Barcelona leapfrog Real Madrid and three others to the top of the table again with a maximum 12 points from four games.
