The Argentinian left the bench at halftime to register his team to 3 points, which was a delight for home fans.
The victory allowed the Catalan club to maintain a 9-point lead over Atletico Madrid, in second place in the final, but they still have three games to play, but a face-to-face record gives them an unassailable lead. .
This is the fourth title Barcelona has won in the last five years and the hope of a prestigious hat-trick has not been lost this season.
Messi Magic
Ernesto Valverde had promised not to rest the key players for the game against Levante, threatened with relegation, but there was a notable absentee from the starting lineup.
Messi, who now has 10 national titles, was apparently rested for the first half with perhaps one eye on the first leg of the Champions League first leg against Liverpool on Wednesday.
However, the Argentine star was introduced to the break with the level of scores after a frustrating first half in which Barcelona failed to convert a host of chances.
As one would expect, it is Messi who has managed the breakthrough just after the hour of play after a period of sustained pressure.
The 31-year-old showed his fast feet to control the ball before sending it to the back of the net.
The striker has been instrumental in the success of his team this season and should be named top scorer in La Liga with 34 goals.
His closest opponent is team-mate Luis Suarez, second in 21st.
The win is the 26th Barcelona title, but they remain behind the Real Madrid record with 33 national crowns.
However, Zinedine Zidane's team has struggled to find regularity since star player Cristiano Ronaldo left the club and he is 15 points from 3rd place behind Barcelona.
Treble dreams
Camp Nou was celebrating as fans watched their team finish the home run for the first time since 2010.
Valverde can now focus on the latest cup competitions as he seeks to guide his team towards three major honors this season.
Barcelona will face Liverpool in the Champions League and try to win the Copa del Rey against Valencia on May 25th.
