Lionel Messi has scored the only goal in a hard fought 1-nil victory over struggling Levante as Barcelona returned to their long-lost winning ways.
Barca, who entered the match on the back of two successive defeats against Cadiz in La Liga and Juventus in the Champions League, came up against a powerful Levante side.
However, a smooth finish from Leo Messi in the 76th minute was enough for Ronald Koeman's side to secure the win and move up to 8th in La Liga.
