Barcelona dominated throughout, controlling possession and creating chances, with Messi going close in the first half, whilst Villa should have won a penalty after being fouled by Casillas.
A second half penalty for Barcelona after a clear foul on Villa by Albiol saw the Madrid man sent off and Messi scored the penalty. Madrid then won a dubious penalty after Alves’ challenge on Marcelo – it seemed Alves won the ball. But Ronaldo scored the penalty.
There was still time for Barcelona to have one more penalty shout turned down when Arbeloa appeared to tug back Messi in the box.
