Barca took another step towards La Liga glory on Sunday as they disposed of bottom side Levante at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia.

The league leaders were forced to battle by the relegation-threatened side, but manager Luis Enrique watched his team prevail in his 100th game in charge.

Against the run of play, Frogs skipper David Navarro put the ball into his own net to give the Blaugrana a first-half lead, after the hosts had competed with their illustrious opponents.

Barca's MSN Trinity of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez were collectively poor in the match, but it was the Uruguayan striker who doubled the lead and wrapped up the points during injury time.

Madrid appeared to have thrown their chances of challenging for the title away late on Sunday, but an explosive strike from Modric spared their blushes away at Granada.

Karim Benzema opened the scoring with a neat finish from close range on the half-hour mark, but the Nazaries equalised after an hour of play through Youssef El Arabi, who tucked the ball under the advancing Keylor Navas.

Granada had two further goals disallowed for offside as they pressed for the win, but Modric popped up from distance to claim a blockbuster strike. keeping Los Blancos in the title race.

The future of Valencia boss Neville remains unclear after his side fell to a poor Betis outfit in Seville. Ruben Castro scored the only goal of the game at the start of the second half, leaving Los Che to plummet towards the relegation zone. 

Federico Fazio was sent off on his second Sevilla debut for the club, but he watched on as his new team earned a 1-1 draw with Celta.

Sevilla opened the scoring through Daniel Carrico shortly before the break, but Claudio Beauvue claimed a point for the hosts after 64 minutes. 

The title is now Barca's to lose as the Madrid clubs splutter through the final part of the campaign. 

However, a shock defeat for Enrique's men will blow the championship wide open, allowing Los Blancos and the Rojiblancos an unlikely chance at glory. 

Barca looked tired and lethargic against inferior opposition on Sunday, but they still had enough fuel in the tank to keep a clean sheet and fashion a win.
