FC Barcelona gave a footballing lesson at the Real Madrid’ stadium Santiago Bernabeu, climaxing in two Leo Messi goals -one of which will surely go down as a classic- that put them in the driving seat for a place in the Wembley final ahead of next week’s second leg at the Nou Camp.
Madrid and Barça face each other yet again this evening, this time in the Champions League semi finals (20.45h CET). The two opposing styles are once again about to clash at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, with FC Barcelona missing the injured Iniesta.
FC Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola gave Jose Mourinho’s comments about him short shrift at tonight’s pre-match press conference. Guardiola also insisted that Barça would go into the game at the Real Madrid’s Bernabeu: “proud to defend style of play”. Besides, Guardiola confirmed Iniesta's injury.
