90' The whistle blows, mercifully for Real, and Barcelona have taken a huge step towards securing the league title - they're now seven points clear. Even by the standards of this fixture, this match was remarkable.
85' With the job well and truly done, Pep Guardiola swaps Iniesta and Toure for Bojan and Busquets.
83' GOLGOLGOLGOLGOL!! Barcelona have scored their SIXTH! Messi prods a ball out to Samuel Eto'o, and the Cameroonian's cross finds Gerard Pique. Casillas smothers the defender's first effort, but Pique spun around and tries again to score his first ever league goal for Barcelona.
78' Arjen Robben will make way for Javi Garcia as Real make their final change.
75' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Xavi has his back to goal and slips the ball through to Mesis, who seems to take an age before slotting past Casillas at the near post! A masterful finish. Barcelona are surely out of sight now.
74' Rafael van der Vaart's first act is to lunge in on Dani Alves and pick up a yellow card.
72' Rafael van der Vaart will be Real Madrid's second change, and it's a real roll of the dice from Juande Ramos - he's bringing off Sergio Ramos.
60' First changes of the match, and no surprises for guessing that it's Thierry Henry coming off for Barca to be replaced by Seydou Keita. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar replaces Marcelo for Real.
58' GOOOOOOOOOOOL!! We've seen the best of Sergio Ramos, now we see the worst. He's too late playing the offisde trap and Xavi's chipped pass finds Henry and he rolls it past the onrushing Casillas!
56' GOOOOOOOOOLGOGOGOGOOOOOOOOL!! Robben whips in another great cross and Sergio Ramos does what he does best by getting on to the end of it and heading Real Madrid right back into this game!
46' No changes at half-time for either side and the second half is underway.
45+1' The referee blows up for half-time. That's quite enough action for one half, thank you.
45+1' Dani Alves takes a big run-up and STRIKES... Casillas gets down low to beat away the rasping free-kick from the Brazilian!
45' Marcelo goes into the book for a foul on Messi.
38' Diarra, Ramos and Higuain combine down the right. Puyol goes right through of Ramos and picks up a booking.
35' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Diarra is caught dithering in possession, and Xavi robs him and gives it to Leo Messi, who clips it past Casillas with the outside of his boot!
29' Messi and Iniesta play a fantastic one-two right through Real but they over-egg the pudding with ne pass too many and Casillas comes out to smother Messi's close range shot.
23' Dani Alves wins the ball in midfield and plays in Messi to strike... Casillas stands firm and the shot hits him in the chest. End-to-end stuff at the Bernabeu!
21' Real build again and Raul fires a ball across the box that almost ricohets in off a Barca defender, but once again Valdes saves his team!
21' Arjen Robben bursts into the Barca box and his low shot is saved by the feet of Victor Valdes!
20' GOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOGOL!! Xavi fires in the free-kick and Carles Puyol heads Barca into the lead! What a game we've got here!
18' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL!! That long ball comes to Messi, who dinks a great ball into the path of Henry and the Frenchman sends a trademark side footed finish past Casillas for the equaliser!
16' Thierry Henry has time and space on the left wing. He curls in an inviting cross to Eto'o free at the far post, but the Cameroon striker chooses to try and volley rather than head the ball! Should be 1-1.
14' GOL GOL GOOOOOL!!! Sergio Ramos gets his cross in around Abidal and Gonzalo Higuain is completely unmarked in the centre of the area to head past Victor Valdes to give Real the lead! That's Higuain's 19th league goal of the season!
5' Lassana Diarra, who started the season playing for Portsmouth, fouls in midfield. Barca release Eto'o from the free-kick and he's one-on-one with Valdes, but the flag is up for offside.

This are facts on this page... Barca was this good THIS YEAR!!! Hoohhohoho... but see you next year...
death to barca

nooooo!!!!! how could real lose badly i dont btleive my eyes!!!!!!!

the point barca cant score is Chelsea play like a ^%^$%$%^&*#..Although, Italian side nowadays does not play such as negative football. it is not tactic, it is coward. I just can agree that Man U now is better even though i dont like them, but they play better football. Hope to see Messi against Ronaldo in final. But, hope to see Milan back to CL. Only Milan know the english tactic and can adapt to play with strength against English side in England ( other italian fails on strength )

Big Big win for barcalona 6-2 WOW!!!!!!!

although i hate Chelsea cos im an Arsenal fan, i just think that barca arent so good against english teams ( remember Man Utd last year ?) so i see Chelsea V Arsenal Final ..

This is a reply to comment 448
Chelsea is a good team and they never conceded a goal in Nu Camp.
And every one knows why:
1) They were playing negative game, no one could be so negative.......as blues were on that day. I am quite sure they have to play same in Stamford bridge otherwise Barca will humiliate them and this is for sure!!!
2) Blues have to thanx referee who was at nu camp!!!! IF he would have been honest in his decisions....Blues wouldn't be commenting here!!!!!
FCB is a joy to watch!!!!

To: simmzy80 (commet 426).
Let's put things into perspective!
1. Barcelona are the best team in Spain only because they have no competition..all the other Spanish teams are @#$%.
2. Barcelona have scored in every La Liga game this season...but couldn't even score against Chelsea, who are only Englands third best team.
3. The last time Barecelona didn't score in a game (before the Chelsea game) was a year ago, and that was against another English side..Manchester United! (who also then knocked you out the the Champions League)!!
4.When you can afford to have a ROOF fitted on your stadium..come back and talk to us, but in the mean time...FEK OFF!!

CHELSEA WILL TAKE A 5-2 ALSO ... WISH SO :)

Barca!, Barca, GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BARCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barca 4 Life!! we takin over dis maa'F&%$£$!

Chelsea have now opened the gates TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And as for Manchester Utd fans....last i checked you were KNOCKED OUT of the FA cup by Everton!!!!! And thats all i got to say about THAT!!!!!! nobody likes WOman Utd anymore! With there cry baby tactics and whining. Especially that C Ronaldo! How much does he get paid a WEEK? and when he gets NUTMEGGED by and 18 year old from Arsenal, he cries and flaps his arms like a toddler thats had his rattle taken away from him!!! waaaaah waaaaah waaaaaaah!!!! Id rather see the CL trophy at the Camp Nou and NOT at Old TOILET!!!!!!!lol!!!

Barca are the perfect team and now Tierry Henry is at the right club where this time he and Messi and Eto'o and co! I hope Eidur Gudjonsson gets him some too so that he can prove that Jose isnt always right. We have a new special one and his name is Josep Guardiola!!

Barca make mincemeat of those Chelski scum.

I agree with ndorby!!! The ribbons on the champions league will be the colour of Catalunia!!! like i said before look at what we did at the Bernabeu. the wholw world knows that Messi and co will rule the world. we already have an Olympic champion in Lionel Messi and Guardiola will be the NEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW special one!! right ndorby?

we all know barca is the best team in the world now but fan whos againts will never like my comments those who hate barca make sure this wed u whatch how barca blow the blues on his homeland im sure there would be surpise& lot of depress for the blues infront their own fan so chelsea u better accept that this year is for messi & all teammate wait until u see how the catalan shock the world i know my squad will play perfect match for the capt puyol who will miss the derby match againts chelsea

Barca to do the treble. La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Champions League!!!!!!!! ole!!! Guuuuuuuuapa!!!!!!!!

A while ago a lot of Chelsea fans were gloating that we didnt score pass them at the Camp Nou but what they fail to realise is that we stopped them from getting an away goal. now after the WHOLE WORLD watched Real Madrid get put to the sword at the Santiago Bernabeu its almost inevitable what we will do at Stamford Bridge. all we need is ONE away goal and Chelsea have twice the work to do and know that the Bernabeu is much louder then the bridge. ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for Chelsea F.C.!!!!! R.I.P Guus. you'll still get your PPPHHHHAT paycheque!

They jst did wht was already predicted
