UEFA Champions League Semis Match 2 , Leg 1: Real Madrid vs Barcelona
It's Barcelona over Real , 2-0 , for Semis Leg 1at Bernabeau!
| Real Madrid |  |  | Barcelona |  |  |  |
Pepe's controversial send-off - due to an incidental contact off Dani Alves- just a minute over the 60th allowed Barcelona to gain the upper hand in the game after a tight but highly physical first half! The Pepe incident disrupted Madrid's game plan and left them in tactical disarray down to 10 men facing Barcelona's furious charge in the second-half.
Then, with time down to a quarter of an hour , Messi struck twice , scoring off a cross from Affelay on the 77th and a smooth slalom job off three defenders on the 83rd.
So, Real Madrid goes to rabid Stadium Camp Nou next week ( May 3) for the 2nd Leg with a 2-goal deficit and without Pepe and Sergio Ramos on the field after Leg 1 red-cards while coach Mourinho will also be out in the stands for the 2nd Leg due to a red card from excessive complaining !
So , it will be payback time for Barcelona after their defeat in the Copa del Rey against Real!
I say , adios, Wembley 2011 , for Madrid this early?
