HOW IRREPRESSIBLE REAL MADRID BANISHED BARCA…Minute By Minute Account

8.05pm GMT 1 min: Barcelona kick off and play it around their own half, back to Pique who chips a 30-yard pass to Iniesta out on the left who takes two touches forward and hits a tameish shot from 35-yarsd wide of Diego López's right post.

8.06pm GMT 2 min: Excellent, jinking run from Pedro on the right and a neat cut back to Messi advancing towards the six-yard box on the right of the penalty area and he controls it beautifully and spanks a shot wide of López's right post.

8.08pm GMT 4 min: Pedro is causing problems down the right hand side and wins a free-kick when upended. The cross from the set-piece is arrowed to the middle of the box where Pique is penalised for a shove.

8.10pm GMT 6 min: Pinto has to scramble across goal from a Real Madrid free-kick from about 40 yards out but the ball goes out of play before he has to touch it.

8.12pm GMT 8 min: Jordi Alba's speed allows him to close down Di Maria as the probing continues from both sides.

8.14pm GMT 9 min: Ronaldo goes storming down the middle and Dani Alves makes a wonderful sliding tackle, diligently tracking him from the right as he broke between Pique and Puyol. As the ball was knocked back up the park Iniesta was clattered hard.

8.16pm GMT Penalty For Real Madrid-Ronaldo brought down by Pique after he cut into the box from the right. He took his legs from him with a sliding tackle. Clear penalty.

8.17pm GMT GOAL!! Barcelona 0-1 Real Madrid (Ronaldo, pen)-Sent the keeper the wrong way – Pinto dived left, Ronaldo rolled it into the right corner.

8.18pm GMT 13 min: Ronaldo's run was set up by a glorious pass on halfway and on the turn by Higuain.

8.19pm GMT 14 min: Fabregas goes down in the box and the whistles start when the referee doesn't award a penalty. And he shouldn't, he just fell over, perhaps anticipating a foul.

8.21pm GMT 16 min: Barcelona, for once, don't look very assured at all.

8.22pm GMT 18 min: Free-kick 10-yards inside the Barcelona half, spooned over the bar.

8.25pm GMT 20 min: Again Ronaldo has the ball as he makes a forward dart out of the centre-circle, advances a few steps then hits a left-foot shot but gets too far underneath the ball and sends it flying far too high.

8.29pm GMT 24 min: Again Real Madrid fly out of the traps on the break and only Higuain picking the wrong option and overhitting his pass when Khedira was free stopped their momentum.

8.30pm GMT 26 min: Dani Alves pulls off another last-gap and brilliantly executed tackle to stop Ronaldo powering through on goal. What a player the full-back is.

8.31pm GMT 28 min: Iniesta, now, cuts in from the right and looks to get a move on so instead of laying it back to Xavi he cvuts past Arbeloa and smashes a shot that needed to curl to trouble Diego Lopez but stayed true and flee out for a goalkick.

8.35pm GMT 31 min: Ozil now has a strop while lying on the floor, claiming that Pique fouled him 30 yards from goal but it looked as though the centre-back whipped the ball away without kicking the shin Ozil was clutching. When they get the ball in Barça's half Real push four men right up against the Barça back four which forces them to retreat. Barça wasted a decent chance a minute earlier with an air shot from, I think, Fabregas as the ball skittled across the box.

8.37pm GMT 33 min: Good build-up play from Barcelona with Pique pushing the ball through the middle and Messi turning to play in Dani Alves who was free and beyond Coentrao but his cross was blocked.

8.38pm GMT 35 min: Barça are frustrated in their latest penalty appeal, Pedro cutting inside and going down after he'd pushed the ball past Xabi Alonso and colliding with the Real Madrid No14.

8.40pm GMT 36 min: This is a fantastically incident-packed game. Pedro plays a wonderful pass to Messi centrally who has Fabregas advancing into the box from the left side of the field but Varane stood up and managed to get enough of a diversion on the ball to knock it past Fabregas.

8.41pm GMT 38 min: Arbeola is booked for a sliding tackle on Iniesta as he ran across the box. Barça free-kick just on the edge of the D.

8.45pm GMT 39 min: An optical illusion for those watching from the sides made them celebrate Messi "scoring" from the free-kick when his crisp shot went under the wall, but went wide of the left post and then rebounded into the side netting.

8.48pm GMT 42 min: Real free-kick, curled into the box from their right and beyond the far post eludes the lunge of Higuain by inches. Up the other end after Arbeola stops Alba's attack up by conceding a corner, Pique is penalised again for blocking, this time Varane.

8.50pm GMT 45 min: There's a minute of stoppage time to be played and Ronaldo opens a route up the right with a shimmy and a pass but Ozil makes a mess of it. Then Jordi Alba writhes on the floor after clanging at best, knees. Brushing knee caps floors him.

8.51pm GMT

That's half-time-And Real Madrid lead 2-1 on aggregate.

9.05pm GMT-Barcelona are out early

It's the naughty step treatment but they aren't clicking their heels, they are tapping the ball between them while looking very annoyed indeed.

9.08pm GMT 46 min:Messi isn't taking on defenders like he used to.He goes rampaging up the left and beats two men but Varane stays calm and with him all the way, stealing the ball off him with a great flick.

9.11pm GMT 48 min: Much quieter start in terms of crowd noise and Di Maria silences them further by whipping the ball off Iniesta's toe in the left-back position before setting off on a mazy, 60-yard run. Barça win it back but almost immediately give it away and Alonso latches on to the ball, spots Coentrao cutting in from the left-flank into the box and pings a glorious pass straight to his feet. The left-back takes two steps and shoots across goal, Pinto getting down low to gather.

9.13pm GMT 51 min: Real Madrid are by far the better team so far but Barça keep working the ball to the edge of their box, Pedro finally getting to the byline and cutting it back to Busquets whose shot hit Khedira and was heading for the top corner until Lopez dived to palm it away.

9.15pm GMT 53 min: Sod the style guide I'm just going to type Cesc from now on instead of Fabregas. Aagh I just did it again. Anyway, he chipped the ball to Messi who laid it off to Iniesta but he was crowded out and fell to the ground.

9.17pm GMT 55 min:Real corner, their second, is easily cleared by Barcelona and though Coentrao plays it back towards the penalty area, Ozil is ruled to have fouled Busquets. Ozil laughs at the referee's interpretation.

9.19pm GMT GOAL!! Barcelona 0-2 Real Madrid (Ronaldo)-Lightning break by Di Maria after a wonderful pass from Khedira. The shot was blocked by Pinto and Ronaldo steered in the rebound from five yards.

9.20pm GMT 58 min: They are so devastatingly quick on the break. It's amazing to watch their precision and sheer speed.

9.21pm GMT 59 min: David Villa comes on for Cesc. Huge roar. "A centre-forward? Really? What is this strange creature?"

9.23pm GMT 61 min: It was a stunning piece of confidence and technique, when Pinto's save went up in the air he trapped it dead.

9.25pm GMT 63 min: Another Barça appeal for a penalty (the fourth) as Pedro goes down after a miscontrol from Xabi Alonso let the winger dart into the box. Coentrao and he went for the ball and Pedro fell over when they converged. No penalty. Pique is starting to station himself upfield, Busquets dropping back.

9.28pm GMT GOAL!! Barça 0-3 Real Madrid (Varane)

And Jose Mourinho does the shushing sign. Corner is curled in towards the penalty spot and Varane, who is having a superb game, leaps unchallenged at shoulder-level to firmly glance the

9.34pm GMT 72 min: With 18 minutes left and Real Madrid leading 4-1 on aggregate, Barcelona need four goals. Thiago replaces Xavi who has been muted tonight.

9.36pm GMT 74 min: Thiago tries to scoop a pass over Ramos and Xabi Alonso into the box but can't get the weight right. The Sky pundits keep bemoaning their lack of width and Alba and Alves have not been getting forward at all this last 20 minutes.

9.39pm GMT 77 min: Tello breaks into the box from the left and curls a shot to the far post, well-saved by Diego Lopez but the Barça sub had been a couple of inches offside.

9.41pm GMT 79 min: Tello again makes progress down the left but then, when he plays the ball inside their attacking momentum gets stuck in traffic.

9.45pm GMT 83 min: Ronaldo breaks up the right, shoots across goal and Pinto saves, knocking it behind. Callejon takes the corner and when it breaks down the substitute Pepe and Busquets tangle, the former toppling to the floor after the referee blew his whistle.

9.48pm GMT 85 min: You can hear the PA announcements loud and clear. It's the sound of hope long since abandoned.

9.49pm GMT 88 min: Pique does have a chance but can't finish. They've just not been anywhere near top form tonight but you have to give Real Madrid credit for that.

9.50pm GMT GOAL!! Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid-Made a run into the box down the left where he was found by a beautiful reverse chipped pass from Iniesta and the left-back firmly slotted his shot into the goal.

9.52pm GMT 90 min: Barça corner conceded by Varane after Villa's neat back-heel, played short and lost.

9.53pm GMT 90 min+2: Some will blame the referee (they shouldn't). 9.54pm GMT
