    • 90+2' It's all over. Barca were simply too strong for Atletico today.
    • 89' Xavi makes it three just before the full-time whistle!! Messi laid it off to Deco, he played a gorgeous ball through to Giovani, whose cross landed perfectly into the path of the onrushing Xaxi, and he smashed home from close range!!
    • 87' Deco plays a sumptuous ball in behind the defence for Messi to run onto, he hares away from Eller, bears down on Abbiati....and the Italian just manages to do enough to deflect the ball onto the post and wide!! What a chance!
    • 85' Krkic is on for Henry for Barca.
    • 84' Maxi goes haring down the right wing and fires in a fine cross, but Valdes comes flying out to punch clear.
    • 80' Ronaldinho is being brought off to a standing ovation. Giovani is on in his place.
    • 74' A clearance from Abbiati falls to Xavi 25 yards out, he unleashes a superb volley, and the 'keeper is forced low to his right to parry! Superb effort!
    • 67' Simao bursts into the area and Puyol rather bottles the challenge, it sits up for Simao, he tries to dink it over Valdes and into the far corner, but it goes over the bar.
    • 61' Luis Garcia is now on for Aguero.
    • 55' Agüero wants a penalty after going down under the challenge off Puyol, but he won't get it. Good decision from the referee.
    • 46' We're underway in the second half at the Camp Nou.
    • 45' Half-time at the Camp Nou.
    • 42' Lovely exchange between Ronaldinho and Messi, but Abbiati makes the save. Ronnie and Messi are enjoying themselves out there today.
    • 37' Poor kick-out from Abbiati gives it straight to Messi, he charges foward and finds Deco, he tees up Ronaldinho from close range...but the Brazilian's shot is a poor one!!! He should have scored there, but instead dragged his shot wide of the near post!
    • 33' Carles Puyol was on the end of an elbow there from Abbiati, and he is bleeding. It was totally unintentional, and Abbiati won the ball.
    • 19' GOAL!!! Barca have their second!! Henry laid it back to Messi on the left flank, he played a one-two with Ronaldinho and charged into the box, then unleashed a pinpoint low left foot drive straight into the far corner.
    • 14' Barca have the lead! Christian Abbiati makes a howler and Deco puts the hosts into the lead. The Italian 'keeper failed to deal with a tame effort from Lionel Messi, and Deco was there to stab home!
    • 8' Great tracking back from Lionel Messi to prevent Mariano "the cannon" Pernia from going through one-on-one with Victor Valdes! Corner to Atletico.
    • 3' Henry looks to beat Pablo for pace down the flank, but the Atletico man clears for a throw.
    • 1' We're underway at the Nou Camp!
