Barcelona vs AC Milan, 2nd Leg Barcelona win 1-0 on aggregate

FULL-TIME: Barcelona earn their place to face Arsenal in the final in Paris next month. It was fairly comfortable for Barcelona; Milan looked toothless.

Just a minute or so left.

...Pirlo whips the set-piece in to the middle; it is half-cleared, before Serginho blasts a left-foot shot a few yards wide from 24 yards out.

Edmilson is booked for bringing down Seedorf as the Dutchman ran at the heart of the Barcelona defence. Free-kick, 40 yards out...

BARCELONA SUB: Van Bommel comes on to replace Eto'o. Rijkaard makes his last change, but it's purely an exercise in time-wasting.

The home side are really slowing the tempo down; taking their time over free-kicks and throws; just killing the game and ending any hopes Milan have of a comeback.

In to the final five minutes, and still Barcelona are having most of the ball. And when Milan do get possession, they look utterly clueless.

The Italians are masters at grabbing late and unlikely goals, but they don't remotely look like doing so here tonight; they have lacked a cutting edge up front, without a doubt.

Eto'o is down after taking a heavy blow in a tackle; Milan are getting a bit frustrated.

Shevchenko almost gets on the end of a hopeful pass over the top of the Barcelona defence, but Marquez makes a good interception.

Milan look a little bit clueless; they desperately need a goal, but are resorting to lofting high balls up field, and Barcelona are coping easily.

There is nothing Ancelotti can do now; he has used all three of his substitutes, and can only pray that someone comes up with a late goal to send the game in to extra time.

Iniesta almost slides a perfect pass through to Larsson, but his ball is a little over-hit and Dida collects.

The home side attempt to take the sting out of the game with a spell of keep-ball; they are knocking the ball about with confidence and intelligence, and Milan are starting to get frustrated.

Barcelona are doing an excellent job of soaking up the Milan attacks, and then breaking at pace through the middle.

Will Barcelona rue the missing of these chances? Stay here, readers, and find out...

STRAIGHT AT DIDA! Ronaldinho again finds space as he breaks; this time he lays a pass in to the path of Deco, but his right-foot shot is straight at the goalkeeper.

Had Larsson put his header anywhere else, Barcelona were virtually in the final; as it was, he directed his effort straight at the keeper, who made a good, reflex save.

WHAT A CHANCE! Eto'o bends a superb cross in to the middle; Larsson makes a good run and plants a diving header goalwards, but Dida makes a good save.

Milan are pressing a lot of players forward, but they are leaving space at the back - and Ronaldinho is starting to find some space...

Ronaldinho is feeling his chin; he seemed to take a stray arm in the face as he challenged for a loose ball with Seedorf.

We are set for a tense final twenty minutes here in Barcelona; Milan have got a very offensive side out at the moment and will push and push for this crucial away goal.

That was a massive let-off for the home side; replays show that there was barely any contact between Puyol and Shevchenko, and the defender went down very easily. Barcelona should be thanking their lucky stars.

GOAL! NO! Shevchenko heads past Dida from eight yards out, but the referee rules that the striker had pushed Puyol and awards a Barcelona free-kick.

BARCELONA SUB: Giuly off, Larsson on. The veteran Swede receives a rapturous applause as he comes on to replace the goalscorer from the first-leg.
