Barca came close to equalizing soon afterwards when Messi was unable to finish Deulofeu's low ball into the Madrid area, while at the other end Carvajal saw a shot cleared off the line following a Madrid break which saw David Vidal left exposed.

Ronaldo replaced Benzema just before the hour, while Denis Suarez came on for the erratic Deulofeu to give Barca an extra man in midfield as the home side looked to get back into the game.

Ter Stegen again saved Barca when he saved from Marcelo, while Ronaldo, who had earlier volleyed wide over, saw a goal correctly ruled out for offside.

At the other end, Busquets blazed over when he should have at least hit the target before Navas saved well from Messi, before being harshly penalized for a supposed foul on Luis Suarez, although TV replays showed there was little if any, contact. That didn't both Messi, who leveled from the penalty spot with 14 minutes remaining.

The tie lasted only moments before Ronaldo put Madrid back in front with a powerful shot, only to be shown a yellow card for removing his shirt in the celebration; something which became significant when he was shown a second for what the referee considered to be a dive a few minutes later.

With only 10 men, Marcos Asensio made it 3-1 to Madrid in the last minute with a left foot shot which flashed past Stegen into the roof of the Barca net to give Madrid a hand on the trophy ahead of Wednesday's return leg.
