Barcelona beat Levante (2-1) thanks to two goals from Ansu Fati, after two assists by Leo Messi, in the duel that closed the 22nd day of LaLiga Santander at Camp Nou, an exchange of blows that smiled at a greater stuck azulgrana, forced not to fail to follow the leader Real Madrid.

Sheltered by his fief, the culé team recovered the path of victory in the league after the trip in Mestalla and seeing at six points to Madrid. The double of Fati in a minute when he marked the half hour of the game sent in an open duel and sometimes, more for the visitors in the second half.

Barça is still wanted in the internal storm surge to change coaches for the second round. Quique Setién's project became very vertical again at times, but again it was insecure back. The Levante, who already won in the first leg to the Catalans, pardoned although it was also surprising that Messi left unmarked.

Without winter reinforcements in the face of Luis Suarez's injury, Ansu Fati pulled the scoring car and allowed Barça to continue to three points in Madrid, before facing the quarterfinals of Copa del Rey in San Mamés. From the beginning there was an open game at the Camp Nou, a give and take from which a priori should win the winner of Barça.

Messi and Ansu, and vice versa, was the best local option. The 17-year-old gave the Argentine the first occasions, bumping into what would be a frustrated night by Aitor Fernández, and the captain culé returned them. The first in a far and low pass, measured for the career of the young scorer culé, in which he beat Miramón and beat the rival goal below the legs.

The tunnel was left open by Aitor a minute later. Barça recovered quickly and Ansu Fati signed the youngest double in the history of the league. Those of Setién punished the courage of a Levant with carelessness behind and without success above. Semedo crashed with the crossbar, in another assistance from Messi and Levante, despite arriving, he went to rest without knocking on the door.

Those of Paco López followed the script in the second half and this time Ter Stegen did have a job. The German goal frustrated Melero, Morales and Roger, several times, as did Aitor to a Messi who sought him unsuccessfully. Ter Stegen could not with an ex-culé like Rochina, already in the discount, so that Setién takes note of a team that continues to grant a lot and reaching the end with trouble.
