Barcelona are cruising against Levante as Neymar and Lionel Messi put them into a 2-0 half-time lead in this afternoon's La Liga clash at the Camp Nou.
The hosts were quickest out of the starting blocks and threatened in the second minute when Pedro charged down the right wing towards goal, but his subsequent shot did not trouble goalkeeper Diego Marino.
Levante managed to break moments later but saw David Barral clear the crossbar and, following that half-chance, Barca were able to storm down the pitch again, with Messi curling wide from Neymar's layoff.
Barca did eventually take the lead just after the quarter-hour mark when Neymar's sloppy connection from a Messi cross looped over Marino and into the net.
Seven minutes before the break, Luis Enrique's charges doubled their lead courtesy of Messi, who collected Marc Bartra's pass and bore down on goal before drilling home.
