Barcelona kicked the second half off with Pedro Rodriguez and Messi swapping wings and there was an immediate effect as Barca looked more dangerous and Pedro and Villa both fired wide.

Madrid were visibly tiring and content to merely hit the ball out of defense as Barcelona began to threaten more and more. Pedro had the ball in the back of the net after 68 minutes, but the goal was ruled out for a narrow, but correct offside decision.

If the first half had belonged to Real Madrid, the second was all Barca's and Mourinho brought on striker Emmanuel Adebayor for Ozil.

Casillas saved from Messi and then Pedro as Barca tightened their grip and Messi began to show his class and with 10 minutes Casillas produced another fingertip save to deny Iniesta, who took a pass from the Argentinean.

Madrid had one chance in the last minute of normal time, but Pinto tipped De Maria's shot inches over the bar to send the game into extra time.

The extra 30 minutes continued the script from the second half with Barca probing for an opening and Madrid aiming to find Ronaldo, who fired just wide after 98 minutes. He made no mistake three minutes later, however, to power home a De Maria cross from the left.

With 15 minutes to save the game Barcelona brought on Ibrahima Affelay for David Villa, but Madrid held on to take the prize.
