Barcelona vs Newcastle United

And that turns out to be the final score - spirited, but to no avail. It's Barcelona who take the spoils

We're into injury time - Newcastle have played bravely but look set to succumb to a 3-1 defeat

Ameobi is penalised for pushing Puyol - he reacts angrily and gets a yellow card for that. Shame - he's been Newcastle's star player on the night

Mendieta tries to cross, Bernard blocks. The home side thoroughly on top of the game as we enter the last couple of minutes

Saviola crosses, Kluivert follows up... it's carnage in the Newcastle area but Given, eventually, is able to hack the ball out of harm's way

Bernard makes a determined run, but the final ball is neither cross nor shot and causes the home defence no problems

Dyer does brilliantly to find space and almost finds Chopra: Bonano gets there ahead of him

Overmars shoots from the edge of the area after the corner is cleared - it's well-struck but too close to Given

Overmars crosses low for the umpteenth time, and Saviola's shot is superbly blocked by Hughes. Corner...

Michael Chopra comes on for Newcastle, with Lua Lua making way for him

From the corner, Kluivert gets a header in and sees it only just go wide

Puyol does well, steaming down the middle and - just about - keeping his footing. He whacks in a shot, and Given makes an excellent stop

Riquelme looks for Saviola down the middle, and a narrow offside decision is all that stops the substitute having a clear run on goal

But they give possession away a bit too easily, and the chances of a comeback look slim indeed

Looks like a Newcastle change is in the offing... activity on the touchline. In the meantime, Newcastle have a free-kick

Overmars works a quick free-kick with Kluivert to bring himself a shooting chance, which he scuffs straight at Given

Speed meets it and sends a firm header over the top. Dani comes off and Saviola replaces him with the match winding towards a conclusion

Puyol concedes a corner under pressure from Robert: is there still hope for the Magpies?

Newcastle snuff out the danger and look to launch an attack of their own. Lua Lua is unable to get to that ball forward, and the home side will tidy up

Robert swings wildly at a cross and hits fresh air, Solano and Speed keep things going but Barca intercept and break...

The home fans less happy now - Real Madrid have found an equaliser

Over-elaboration takes the steam out of a Barca attack following great work by Overmars, who elected to pass rather than shoot from the edge of the area

That's cheered up the home faithful, who seemed to be losing interest in the game being played out in front of them

Huge cheers round the ground - Real Madrid are losing at home to Lokomotiv Moscow

Robert's control - not for the first time - lets him down. Barca throw
