Right, that's it from me for now as the old stomach is rumbling. I'm off to grab a bite to eat but will be back for Real Madrid's game against Celta Viga from 19:30 GMT.

I'll leave you with the report on Barcelona's Sunday stroll against Levante and hope you can join me later.

Barcelona kick off 2018 in La Liga with a victory that moves them nine points clear at the top of the table.

They are also now 17 points ahead of Real Madrid. Pressure on Zinedine Zidane's side to respond when they are in action against Celta Vigo later today (19:45 GMT)

Easy as you like.

Into the first of four minutes of stoppage time but this game is as good as done.

It was as good as done after 45 minutes to be honest.

Barcelona, who have used all three subs, manages to get up and shakes off the injury. Relieved applause by the Barcelona fans, his link up with Lionel Messi this season has been massive.

This looks nasty. Jordi Alba stretches a bit too much for a ball and twinges something. He is writhing around in pain.

An injury to Alba will take a bit of the shine off the win.

Wish these teams would make substitutions at the same time, would help me out massively typing things up.

Sergi Roberto is going off and he's getting a standing ovation for his part in Barcelona's second goal. Jose Arnaiz is on for the final few minutes.

Final change for Levante as Jason is replaced by Samu Garcia.

Levante have done a good job of keeping Barcelona quiet in this half. I make it one decent chance the hosts have had.

Barca do often bag in the final 10 minutes, so still time yet for a third.

Andres Iniesta goes off to the usual big applause from the home fans. Loved here, will they love his potential successor, Philippe Coutinho, as much over time?

Andre Gomes comes on the closing stages.

Another change for Levante as Emmanuel Boateng, on a booking, goes off and on comes forward Nano.

The visitors not giving up just yet.

Luis Suarez, onside, gets the ball trapped under his feet. His first shot is poor but a panicky clearance means he gets it back and this time clatters an effort at goal, good save by Oier Olazabal.

Nelson Semedo, fresh legs, is full of running and Emmanuel Boateng can do nothing more than wrestle him to the ground to prevent the Barcelona forward from getting away. It means another booking for a Levante player.

Ousmane Dembele's work his done for the day. The forward has got an hour under his belt on his return from injury and gets a fine applause from the home fans for his efforts. Plenty more to come from the 20-year-old you would expect.

Nelson Semedo comes on, slots into right back as Sergi Roberto moves into midfield.

Best chance of the game for Levante as the Barcelona defence is caught napping, allowing a ball to run through to the unmarked Shaquell Moore, who stretches to direct a shot at goal but Marc-Andre ter Stergen saves with his feet.

And here's the change for Levante as Rober Pier comes on for Jefferson Lerma.

Bit dull now. Barcelona are easing themselves into 2018 and not stretching themselves too much now they are 2-0 up and looking comfortable.

Levante look set to make a change.

Kolade Ibrahim: Coutinho is a long term replacement for Iniesta. However, comparisons to Iniesta are unfair. Iniesta is one of a kind.
