Minute
Description
67'
Messi stands over a free-kick again. This time, he clips it into the box, where Lenglet heads over. Had the Frenchman scored, it wouldn't have counted as the offside flag had been raised.
65'
Messi goes for goal with a free-kick, but it is quite a tame delivery and the goalkeeper gathers quite comfortably.
62'
Space opens for Griezmann to try his luck from distance. But his effort is always rising.
60'
Still goalless after an hour of play at the Camp Nou. Levante continue to be resolute, but must maintain their concentration and performance levels.
58'
Pedri enters the game and replaces Sergio Busquets.
First change for Barca as Pedri is introduced in favour of Busquets.
53'
Messi finds himself in the box once more. But again, he is not allowed a clear sight on goal as Levante quickly regroup in numbers to snuff out his threat.
51'
Good block! After beating the offside trap, Alba slips the ball through for Messi to run onto. However, Malsa tracks his run all the way and makes an important sliding intervention to deny him.
49'
F. de Jong gets yellow.
De Jong goes into the book for a rash challenge outside the Barca box.

45' +1
HALF-TIME: BARCELONA 0-0 LEVANTE

A brief concern for Levante as Malsa goes down following a challenge with Braithwaite. But the midfielder is soon back on his feet.
42'
N. Vukčević gets yellow.
Vukcevic is booked for pulling back Messi, who was threatening to get his shot away from the edge of the area.
40'
Messi unhappy as his appeals for a free-kick on the edge of the area are waved away by the referee. Replays show it would have been soft in all fairness.
38'
A good spell of pressure from Barca sees them force a series of corners, but Levante stand firm and eventually clear the danger.
36'
The hosts have an appeal for a penalty as Messi goes down under the challenge of Postigo. But the referee is not interested on this occasion.
31'
Very unlike Messi! He has another chance following a strong and powerful run by De Jong. The Dutchman cuts it back for his team-mate, who ends up slicing his attempted shot out for a throw-in.
25'
Levante continuing to hold their own against Barca. They get another shot away from the edge of the box, but this one is not troubling Ter Stegen.
23'
Still goalless as we pass the midway point in the first half. Both sides have had their chances to break the deadlock, but to no avail as of yet.
19'
Chance! Good link-up play between the Levante front two as Marti cleverly clips the ball into the path of Gomez. Under pressure from a defender, he blazes over from a tight angle, but that was another good opportunity for the visitors.
14'
The visitors will be hoping they are not made to rue that missed opportunity. Against Barca, you must take your chances and they should be in front here.
11'
Good link-up play between Coutinho and Braithwaite down the left flank. The latter gets to the byline and crosses, but the goalkeeper easily gathers.
9'
Griezmann with a chance to get in behind the defence as he chases a through ball, but Postigo sweeps up well to clear the danger.
7'
Barca look to respond and settle into their natural flow. But with 11 men behind the ball, they are unable to find a way through Levante as of yet.
3'
A promising start from Levante sees them force a corner in the early stages. They put a couple of dangerous balls into the box, but Ter Stegen gathers.
