Frustratingly, we were unable to watch the match last night between Barcelona and Real Madrid. No matter, it was apparently a scrappy match anyway with Barcelona keeping possession and Real Madrid preventing them from scoring. It was also an ill tempered match resulting in Pepe being sent off for a foul on Dani Alves followed by the Real coach Mourinho for making a comment.
In the end the game was sealed by two goals from Lionel Messi, the second of which was apparently pure brilliance. Like Shalke, Real Madrid now have a mountain to climb if they are to appear in the final at Wembley on the 28th May.
It is too soon to say I know but I would not be surprised to see a repeat of the 2009 Rome final this year in London except of course with a different result!
PS Whilst Real Madrid have won this championship 9 times and been runners up on 3 occasions, Barcelona have only won it 3 times and been runners up on 3 occasions. The last time that Real Madrid won it though was in 2002.

Hi Keith
Couple this with the fact that the tannoy at El Santiago Bernebeu banned the use of Catalan. This is traditional for the away team in the European Cup and FCB have had Catalan used at all grounds before.
Petty? I'll leave you to draw your own conclusion.
