Last night saw the final El Classico of the season as Barcelona hosted Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final second leg. After the poor performances and the backlashes of last week's anticlimactic first leg, no-one really wanted to see this match especially with Barcelona having a 2-0 aggregate lead.
Although there were no real 'hairy' moments in this leg, both teams were doing all they could to earn free-kicks via theatrics. The first half saw Barcelona own the ball and mount countless attacks on Casillas' goal but they couldn't find that breakthrough. But, as expected, Barca did the break the deadlock nine minutes into the second half with Pedro sinking Real's chances of a comeback. Marcelo equalised on the night ten minutes late but the Spanish giants played out the draw with Barca through to the Wembley final, expectant to see Manchester United there as they hold their 2-0 aggregate lead advantage at Old Trafford tonight.
