Barcelona needed just 12 minutes to score against Levante on Sunday in La Liga, and I bet you can guess who scored. Lionel Messi made it 1-0 with a lovely finish off a give-and-go with Jordi Alba. Messi lofted the ball over defenders to Alba, who headed into the vacant space, and the Argentine superstar did the rest with a brilliant hit to the far post. Take a look:
GOOOOAAALLLL!!!!

The @TeamMessi - @JordiAlba connection strikes again. 1-0! #BarçaLevante pic.twitter.com/bM77yO0gf9
Messi makes it look easy. But lots of credit to Alba there for realizing the space was there to lay off the ball and set up a fantastic opportunity that Messi would hit to near perfection.
