Barcelona dispatched Levante with ease in Valencia on Sunday night. Here, Rik Sharma gives you his player ratings for the Blaugrana stars in their 5-0 win.
---------------------------------------------------------
Claudio Bravo 6
The Chilean stopper had nothing to do as Barcelona gained an easy three points on the road.
Dani Alves 6
It was not a vintage attacking performance from Dani Alves, but he didn't do much wrong down the right flank.
Javier Mascherano 7
Cleared up a few loose balls and generally put out fires with ease. Looks very comfortable alongside Mathieu.
Jeremy Mathieu 6
Reasonable display from the Frenchman, only marred by an early error which was mopped up by Rakitic.
Jordi Alba 8
He wasted a good chance early on with a shanked cross-shot, but was an excellent outlet down the left. Set up Pedro's goal.
Sergio Busquets 7
Won the ball with his usual authority in midfield and got attacks going all game long.
Ivan Rakitic 8
The Croatian is increasingly more comfortable in Barcelona colours and scored a belter to double the lead when Barcelona were leading by a single goal.
Andres Iniesta 6
Perhaps affected by Messi dropping deeper, Iniesta was quieter than usual today, but still came up with a few nice touches and passes.
Pedro 6
Finally scored this season with a tap-in, but still looks off the pace. Suarez will have his eyes on this spot.
Lionel Messi 9
The Argentine was fantastic, creating two goals and adding another later on. The only blot on his copy book was his terrible penalty miss, skewed wide of the left-hand upright.
Neymar 7
Neymar kept a cool head to round the keeper and finish after a brilliant through-ball by Messi. The Brazilian squandered a couple of early chances before going off injured.
Subs:
Sandro - Did more in a couple of minutes on the pitch than Pedro did in the first hour, finishing with aplomb after Messi played him in
Xavi - comfortable, as you would expect, after replacing Busquets
Sergi Roberto - N/A
