Despite Messi's management goal - shock loss for Barcelona

But after the hour played, Levante exploded with three goals eight minutes and decided the match. As a result, Barcelona's winning suite cracked seven games.

- It is a great merit to have beaten Barcelona. Only a few teams can handle it, says Levante coach Paco Lopez according to AP.

Messi scored the fifth match in a row but Barcelona saw Luis Suarez get off with a injury before halftime.

- If we had managed to hang in better after 1-1 then we might have managed but we did not start well in the second half, says Barca's coach Ernesto Valverde.

Messi had a goal inside that would have reduced to 3-2 but it was rejected for offside after VAR review.

On Tuesday, Barcelona will play at home against Slavia Prague in the Champions Leage.
