Play by play
- 92'
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.
- 91'
Just a minute or so left.
- 90'
...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.
- 89'
Edmilson is booked for bringing down Seedorf as the Dutchman ran at the heart of the Barcelona defence. Free-kick, 40 yards out...
- 88'
BARCELONA SUB: Van Bommel comes on to replace Eto'o. Rijkaard makes his last change, but it's purely an exercise in time-wasting.
- 87'
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.
- 86'
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.
- 85'
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.
- 84'
Eto'o is down after taking a heavy blow in a tackle; Milan are getting a bit frustrated.
- 83'
Shevchenko almost gets on the end of a hopeful pass over the top of the Barcelona defence, but Marquez makes a good interception.
- 82'
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.
- 81'
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.
- 80'
Iniesta almost slides a perfect pass through to Larsson, but his ball is a little over-hit and Dida collects.
- 79'
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.
- 78'
Barcelona are doing an excellent job of soaking up the Milan attacks, and then breaking at pace through the middle.
- 77'
Will Barcelona rue the missing of these chances? Stay here, readers, and find out...
- 76'
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.
- 75'
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.
- 74'
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.
- 73'
Milan are pressing a lot of players forward, but they are leaving space at the back - and Ronaldinho is starting to find some space...
- 72'
Ronaldinho is feeling his chin; he seemed to take a stray arm in the face as he challenged for a loose ball with Seedorf.
- 71'
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.
- 70'
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.
- 69'
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.
- 68'
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.
