UPDATED: 17:00 EST, 26 February 2013 Barcelona: Pinto, Alves, Pique, Puyol, Jordi Alba, Sergio, Xavi (Alcantara 74), Cesc (Villa 60), Pedro (Tello 71), Iniesta, Messi. Subs perhaps not used: Valdes, Mascherano, Adriano, Song. Scorer: Alba 89. True Madrid: Diego Lopez, Varane, Ramos, Coentrao, Khedira, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil (Pepe 79), Xabi Alonso (Jordan Essien 84), Arbeloa, Higuain (Callejon 70), Di Maria. Subs maybe not used: Adan, Kaka, Benzema, Modric. Scorers: Ronaldo 13, 57; Varane 68. Attendance: 90,002. Referee: Undiano Mallenco. TOTAL TIME: Barcelona 1 Real Madrid three (agg 2-4) Actual Madrid had less of the ball, but they out-thought, out-fought and out played Barcelona at every critical turn. Jose Mourinho's area deserve their devote the last where they'll experience Sevilla or Atletico Madrid. That's all from me. Night! 90min: We'll have 3 minutes added on. 89min: GOAL! Barcelona 1 Real Madrid 3 (agg 2-4) (Jordi Alba) Wonderful end from Alba who races onto Andres Iniesta's reverse dinked pass and slides the ball past Diego Lopez on the position. Merely a consolation, although. 86min: It is almost too humiliating to publish, but a shocking dive have been just taken by Pepe after being lightly pressed in the chest by Busquets. It uses somewhat of pushing and shoving, tangled legs and it is all nonsense, really. But that dive - an obvious try to get Busquets sent off - was rank. 84min: Xabi Alonso's night ends as he is replaced by Michael Essien. The subsequent place quantities to nought. 83min: Real break upfield, Ronaldo gives the simplest of one-twos and fires a travel which Pinto blocks out with his legs. Place. 82min: Sorry to disappoint, but there is nowt going on. The game is moribund, I'm sure the Barca players would gladly end the game now and retreat back into the changing room to lick their wounds. 79min: The people are restless... One fool of a lover lights a width then lobs in in to the mass of bodies in the level below him. Late drama: Varane scored Real's third on the night time and Pepe clashed with Busquets (below) 74min: This game is as a spectacle, barely a peep over coming from the audience and Real are playing hold basketball. More change is made one by barca as the very subdued Xavi is changed by Thiago Alcantara. Silence was Stunned by 73min: at the Nou Camp. 71min: Barcelona hoick Pedro down, Cristian Tello is on in his stead. 70min: True change Jose Karen Callejon for Gonzalo Higuain. 68min: GOAL! Barcelona 0 Real Madrid three (agg 1-4) (Raphael Varane) Game over. Raphael Varane is left totally unmarked in the box and leaps to head home the spot to close the link. 65min: We are to the 65th moment and Barca have mustered just two shots on target. Not adequate enough. 63min: Pedro strikes the deck under a hefty problem in the package once more. Again the umpire waves the appeals away and yet again the replays suggest it had been the right decision. Huge credit is deserved by the official for remain stoic in the face area of some borderline cheating and 90,000 Catalans shouting down his throat. 60min: First substitution for Barcelona - Cesc Fabregas is replaced by David Villa. But Barcelona are surely pursuing a lost cause now. Dual your money: Ronaldo celebrates his second goal of the morning THREE goals are needed by 59min: Barcelona. 57min: GOAL! Barcelona 0 Real Madrid 2 (agg 1-3) (Cristiano Ronaldo) Game over, certainly. Fool value as Real break on the table, Carlos Puyol's feet can not fit Sami Khedira who twists the defender inside out. The initial shot is blocked, but falls to Ronaldo who fires low in to the back of the web. 55min: David Villa warming-up and looking serious on the sidelines. 51min: Much, significantly better from Barca. The hosts power Diego Lopez into making two fine saves: Dani Alves pings in a low drive which will be parried away and another attempts is scrambled away. Real are on the back-foot in these early exchanges. 47min: Barcelona experienced 67 per cent of the first-half control - but that dominance could not be converted by them into possibilities often enough. Messi starts the half in positive fashion with a darting function at the guests' protection, but he is crowded out. Searching Ronaldo? Friend Alex is in the stands experiencing the motion MINUTE HALF: And we are back under way. HALF-TIME: Barcelona 0 Real Madrid 1 (agg 1-2) And breathe! There's just a little spat between Jordi Alba and Sergio Ramos at the end of a tumultuous first half. One these two hot rivals are separated by penalty, a host of claims for more and just one goal. Engrossing material. Do join me in a quarter-hour for the next half. 45min: About a minute to be added on at the conclusion of this half. 41min: Cripes, that was not a long way away, either! Sergio Ramos flings herself at the ball which missed agonisingly past his start at the far post. 39min: Close. Very (very) close. Barca winaA free-kick 20 yards out, Messi pings it low and just under the players in the wall - who jumped together - but the ball whistled *this far* past the upright. 34min: Another huge scream for a penalty... but it is the home fans that are sure, not the umpire. Before he collided with Xabi Alonso and credit to umpire Undiano Mallenco, Pedro had been slipping over. Safe to state the state is not typically the most popular man in Catalunya right now. 30min: Xavi waves a shot only vast of Diego Lopez's right-hand upright and then Fabregas scuffs an shot on the edge of the box. Barca are surviving on scraps although Madrid are sitting strong and breaking at rate - to great effect. 26min: Another promising counter-attack for Madrid, Higuain cuts a through Barca's midfield, but picks the wrong cross - striking the ball out to the left when Khedira was free on the right. 24min: Ronaldo has yet another dip from just beyond your box. his attempt bounces just before Pinto who gets his body all behind the ball. 21min: FYI: Just a 1-1 score usually takes us into more time. Barcelona need two objectives to complete it in the 90 minutes. Spending the penalty: Ronaldo slides on his legs after crashing home an area end 19min: No clear-cut odds for Barcelona thus far, indeed Messi has only taken an arbitrary slide over a Madrid defender's leg. Barca aren't at the races to date. 15min: The house supporters are apoplectic after Cesc Fabregas strikes the grass under the weight force from two defenders, but he waves play on. But replays demonstrate the former Arsenal man took a dive - great decision from referee Undiano Mallenco. GOAL! Barcelona 0 Real Madrid 1 (Cristiano Ronaldo) Ronnie sends Pinto the wrong method to give the hosts the lead... and an important away goal. 12min: Penalty to Real Madrid! Higuain sees Ronaldo on the right wing who has the chance to run at Pique - the defender lunges and draws Cristiano's right knee. Yellow card for the former Manchester United player. 9min: Cesc Fabregas keeps his head after Lopez grabs the ball near his left-hand post, Madrid sweep upfield and Alves is pushed into a last-ditch tackle on Higuain. *catches breath 5min: A frenetic start, marked by way of a number of passes going astray. The hosts are really enjoying the higher of the person, although. 2min: Early sighter for Andres Iniesta whose swim from 25 yards travels well wide... and then Messi drags a shot wide after fashioning a property of space in the field. Lightning begin with the hosts. Home advantage: Barcelona have made an exciting focus on chances for Messi and Fabregas KICK-OFF: Here we go... 90 minutes, then probably extra-time and penalties for a place in the Copa del Rey final. 7.57: The people are waiting patiently in the canal - size ramped as much as 100 percent as 90,000+ Catalans strip out the Barca anthem. Feels like we are on for a - how are your nerves? 7.50: Not long to go as yet, listed below are two important stats before kick-off. Cristiano Ronaldo can become the initial player ever to score in six consecutive Nou Camp Clasicos if he finds the web. If Messi results tonight he equals Alfredo Di Stefanoas record of 18 goals in Barcelona-Madrid matches. Over to you, fellas. 7.41: This could be Mourino's last hurrah at the Nou Camp along with his leave this summertime all-but agreed by the good and the nice. But where's he going next? Take a glance here for the latest, fascinating, news. 7.30: Barcelona coach Jordi Roura has decided against any fence-sitting in the build-up to this one. And the issue of referee selection has been anywhere close to the top of his gripes. He said: 'With this referee our numbers go down significantly. Our only league defeat came with him in charge and most of us remember how he let so much get in the Cup Final 2 yrs ago.' All eyes on umpire Undiano Mallenco, then. 7.25: Teams! (eyes right) 7.20: Talking about Pete Jenson's article, I had remind you it is a wonderful study, we've 35 minutes to go until kick-off, plenty of time for you to have a nose. 7.10: I could not hide the reason why I am in position to address this game for you tonight: I want fireworks from the main protagonists in the two teams. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have pushed the limits of score feats this period and I want more today. As Pete Jenson stated in his post today, the couple are involved in a 'anything you can do I can do bettera duel. Thusly, I'm hoping this game is going to be gained amidst a flurry of drama... and goals. 7pm: Good night all and welcome to Sportsmail's protection of the clasico - Barcelona versus Real Madrid. All eyes on the Nou Camp as Jose Mourinho's side look to edge out their opponents for an area in the Copa del Rey closing. Clash of the titans: Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo may collide at the Nou Camp
