  • Barcelona-Man United

    90+1'’ Pedro Rodriguez replaces man-of-the-match Iniesta.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    87'’ The second corner finds an unmarked Berbatov eight yards out but the £30 million man puts his header wide over the top. Poor effort.

    83'’ Brilliant from Barca as they tease United only for Puyol's shot to be saved by the advancing Van der Sar.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    74'’ Xavi's centre is met by Puyol but his thumping header is straight at van der Sar.

  • Barcelona-Man United

  • Barcelona-Man United

    71'’ Seydou Keita replaces Henry.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    70'’ 2-0 BARCELONA!! Evra hooks his clearance aimlessly to Xavi who picks out an unmarked Messi and the little Argentine climbs high and guides the ball past van der Sar and into the far corner.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    67'’ Berbatov is on for Park. It is now a 4-2-4 for United. Maybe the Bulgarian can hold the ball up better than Ronaldo who has gone to the left.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    56'’ Ronaldo swings in a cross from the right and Toure completely misses his attempted clearance only for the ball to bounce off the hard pitch and over the head of the unmarked Park six yards out.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    53'’ Xavi curls a free-kick around the wall and it smashes against the middle post and out to safety. UNITED ARE UNDER THE COSH.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    51'’ It is all Barca and Messi cannot believe he does not get a penalty after going down following a possible tug from O'Shea.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    49'’ HENRY SO CLOSE!! Iniesta sends him away down the left in a big hole vacated by O'Shea, he cuts inside Ferdinand and then goes the other way before his shot is saved by the legs of Van der Sar.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    46'’ The second-half is underway and Tevez is on for the ineffective Anderson.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    45'’ HALF-TIME! United started the brighter but Barca have dominated after the morale boost of their goal.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    26'’ Xavi curls his effort just over the top corner but van der Sar probably had it covered.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    18'’ It's a great game. Messi pulls the trigger from 25 yards and a scorching drive just misses the top corner with Edwin van der Sar beaten.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    14'’ Pique bodychecks Ronaldo as he looks to race through on goal. The defender receives yellow but it could have been red.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    9'’ GOAL BARCELONA!!! The Catalan club score with their first real attack. Andres Iniesta gets past Anderson too easily and finds Eto'o who cuts inside Nemanja Vidic and toe pokes the ball under Edwin van der Sar from close range.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    8'’ RONALDO CLOSE!! Bustling run from Patrice Evra and the ball drops to the Portuguese star in the penalty area who volleys the dropping ball just wide of the far post from 16 yards.

  • Barcelona-Man United

    3'’ Ronaldo's 30-yard effort bounces viciously in front of Victor Valdes and bounces off his body. It requires a superb block by former United defender Gerard Pique to deny Park Ji-sung a tap-in. What a start!

    13:10 Chris G, are you looking for a job? Man Utd are going to be stitched up by a dodgy ref­­ decision you see, there will be a dodgy penalty given­­ to Barcelona or not one given to Man Utd. Uefa­ aka­ Sep and Platini hate English teams and they are will­ probably­ going to use the ref to make sure another­ english team­ does not win the champions league again...
