Barça took it upon themselves to beat Levante in a difficult match before the winning goal came. Messi's game was phenomenal, with one goal, 6 shots on target (12 in total), 2 dribbles, 3 key passes, 2 big chances created, 3 centers, 6 ground duels won, 1 aerial won. 51 passes and 101 touches, which was enough for him to be the best player in the game. He, of course, remains the best player in La Liga.
With his goal, Messi reached 900 goals generated with Barcelona, his 600th goal with No. 10 shirt (in Barcelona), his 100th opening goal in La Liga, and finally, but much more importantly, he equaled Pelé's record for most goals in a single club. He also reached 250 home games in La Liga. Also, he reached 50 goal contributions this year, with 25 goals and 25 assists, as well as reaching 10 goals generated in this season, with 8 goals and 2 assists.
The game could have been easier for Barcelona if they had converted one of the 3 big chances that they missed, 2 generated by Messi, but they had to suffer through the game and it was Messi who had to rescue Barça and give him two more points.
