Barcelona vs Real Madrid

1. 90'

   A decent showing from ten man Real but Barcleona will, once again, be wondering how they have not won the game. Real's defence, and Casillas in particular, had a large say in the lack of goals for the home side but some rather nonchalant finishing from Barcelona has cost them all three points. If Barcelona don't rediscover their goalscoring form on tuesday night when Benfica visit it could make for an interesting evening.

2. 90'

   FULL TIME

3. 90'

   Belletti hits a great ball in to the six yard box and Larsson has a free header from six yards out which he steers wide of the Real goal. Larsson is furious with himself and so he should be. That's two great chances he has missed tonight.

4. 90'

   Another corner for Barca as Bellettis half-heartedly plays it against Ramos. The corner which follows is wasted.

5. 89'

   Ronaldinho nearly hits a fine pass in to the path of the on-rushing Belletti but the ball is hit just too far ahead of him.

6. 88'

   Puyol is off and and Gabri is on for Barcelona.

7. 87'

   David Beckham has been cautioned.

8. 85'

   Real Madrid really need to score another goal. A draw is no good for them.

9. 84'

   At the other end Beckham hits a ball in to the box and two white figures throw themselves to the ground hopefully. Pathetic.

10. 83'

    Another corner from Barca is well defended once more by Real. Barca fans were screaming for a handball but it appeared to strike Gravesen's thigh.

11. 82'

    Barca have failed to make their numerical advantage count in this half and have found Casillas in sparkling form.

12. 80'

    A man is on the pitch. And he shouldn't be. he is now being led off by several angry looking security guards.

13. 80'

    Puyol and Sergio Ramos clash heads. Ouch. Hopefully the flowing locks of both men will have cushioned the blow somewhat.

14. 79'

    Yet another corner to Barcelona. Iniesta hits a swerving shot in but Raul Bravo clears with his head...for another corner.

15. 78'

    From the corner Iniesta's shot flies well wide of the Real goal.

16. 77'

    Ronaldinho fails to clear the wall and it's another corner for Barca. Ronaldinho's free kicks have been poor tonight. Corner to Barca.

17. 76'

    Baptista again fouls Deco and Barca have yet another free kick in a dangerous area.

18. 75'

    Ronaldinho hits a good corner in but Real clear it. The next ball in to the Real box is met with a bullet header from Larsson which goes straight at Casillas.

19. 74'

    The free kick hits the wall but Ronaldinho blasts it straight back at Casillas who makes another great save. Julio Baptista then just reaches the ball before Larsson can bury it past the Real keeper. Corner to Barca.

20. 74'

    The referee has booked Baptista for not retreating the requisite distance.

21. 73'

    Another free kick in a dangerous position for Barca. Surely Ronaldinho has to connect with one of these?

22. 72'

    Casillas makes another great save.....but it doesn't really count cos the ref had blown up. Barca should have been given an advantage because Deco was clearly fouled.

23. 70'

    The referee just fell over. It was really, really funny.

24. 67'

    Ronaldo is booked for throwing himself theatrically to the floor after performing a wonderful Cryuff turn on Oleguer (are Cryuff turns called something else down Real Madrid way?Answers on a postcard.) The two sides of the man shown there.

25. 67'

    Barca are almost being too flippant with their finishing, a trait they displayed midweek against Benfica.
