Barcelona completely routed Levante in their first game of the new Spanish La Liga,defeating them 7-0 at the Camp Nou.
Such was Barcelona’s dominance that as early as the 24th minute,they were 4-0 up and added an additional two before the break to make it 6-0 at half-time.
Despite new signing Neymar and Andres Iniesta,all starting from the bench,Barcelona was too strong for their opposition.
Alexis Sanchez opened the scores for Barcelona just after two minutes into the game and not quite long,Lionel Messi started the new season where he left off last season,tapping in a low cross from Pedro.
Barcelona made it three,after Messi stole the ball from a Levante defender and played in Cesc Fabregas who in turn squared the ball to Dani Alves for the third goal.
Messi was at it again,picking out Pedro in a defence-splitting pass,for the winger to bend in the fourth goal.
It was all Barcelona and Levante struggled to cross even their own half.
There was still time before the break for Messi to convert a penalty for the fifth goal and also for Xavi to get the sixth goal.
Pedro completed the rout in the 73rd minute,bagging the seventh goal to crown a good debut for their new coach Tata Martino.
