UEFA Champions League · Semi-final, first leg · 27 April 2011

Eleven Minutes in Madrid

Real Madrid 0–2 Barcelona · Estadio Santiago Bernabéu

Two Messi goals in eleven minutes broke a tense Clásico.

It was a bad-tempered night, and Pepe's red card on 61 changed it. Messi finished Afellay's low cross on 76, then took the ball in Madrid's half on 87, slalomed through and rolled it past Casillas. Barcelona took a 2-0 lead home and went through 3-1 on aggregate.
