Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova is refusing to declare the Primera Division title race over, despite his side's blistering form.

The visitors proved too strong for Levante thanks largely to another brace from Lionel Messi. The Argentina star has now scored 82 goals in 2012 - just three shy of former West Germany and Bayern Munich striker Gerd Muller's record of 85, set in 1972. Messi's goals were both set up by Andres Iniesta, who also hit the target himself before supplying Cesc Fabregas for the fourth. Levante's misery was compounded by Victor Valdes saving Jose Maria Barkero's late penalty.
