Lionel Messi scored a goal to lead Barcelona to a 1-0 win over Levante in the Spanish Premier League on Sunday,
and relieve pressure after a difficult week for the Catalan club.
Barcelona dominated the match but was unable to score until Messi took advantage of a ground pass from
Frenkie de Jong in a quick counterattack and hit a powerful ball that hit the post and entered the goal in
the 76th minute.
The Argentine celebrated with punches in the air after he failed to hit the net during the two successive defeats
against Cadiz and Juventus.
Despite this, Barcelona struggled to get out on the three points and survived the video assistant referee for
a possible penalty against Samuel Umtiti after a handball.
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen also saved a powerful shot from Levante player Son at the last minute.
