FULL-TIME, Barcelona 1-0 Levante: CHAMPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!!!!! The rest of the game was nervous as hell, and Levante even hit the post, but we survived. And we’ve won La Liga with a Lionel Messi goal. Just perfect.
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Barcelona 1-0 Levante (Messi 62’): BARÇA TAKE THE LEAD!!! The ball bounces around in the box until Arturo Vidal heads it in Lionel Messi’s direction, and the captain calmly switches it to his left foot and fires it home!
SECOND HALF KICKOFF! Barcelona 0-0 Levante: Come on, boys! Let’s find the winner and clinch the title!
HALFTIME, Barcelona 0-0 Levante: Barça attacked, attacked and attacked, but just could not find the goal in the first half. Philippe Coutinho has been awesome, and we’re in a good position to get the winner in the second.
KICKOFF! Barcelona 0-0 Levante: Come on, boys! It’s title night, so give me all the heart attacks you want as long as you win.

Matchday Thread Rules
We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:
Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, no swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do it will be warned, and those who post links will be instantly banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another.
