That set the scene for Barcelona to totally dominate the rest of the half and had it not been for a series of saves from Iker Casillas, the Catalan team would have scored at least two goals more before Messi finally made it 3-1 after 35 minutes.

The fate of the game was effectively sealed in a two minute spell in the second half. Sergio Ramos scored with a header to bring Madrid back into the game after 56 minutes. But barely a minute later, Henry scored his second of the night, beating the offside trap to steer the ball home from 25 yards, with Casillas off his line.
