End of match
-
90'FT: Barca 0-4 Madrid (1-4). Wow, what a second half from the visitors. Seems silly to say, but one of those games which was really made up of two halves - Barca unlucky not to be ahead in the first while Madrid were simply unplayable in that second, hats off to whatever Ancelotti said at the break, he definitely earned his money! This puts Madrid into the final, where they'll be facing Osasuna.

90'Madrid just playing out time now, think everyone in the stadium has known for a while they're through.

86 'Big disagreements here all stemming from the subs and who's going off. Vini seems particularly riled by Barca who were telling him to get off quicker.
-
81 'HAAATRICKKK FOR BENZEMAAAA!!!! The Frenchman's got yet another here, fed in by a great Vinicius ball, and after they'd torn the Barca defence a part, the Ballon d'Or winner opens his body up and calmly slots past Ter Stegen.
-
78'Asensio continues the pressure and forces a great save from Ter Stegen to get a corner.
-
77'Benzema has the chance to get a hattrick here, bt he pokes it just wide!

60'Madrid aren't giving up here, with Rodrygo going within inches. He's running in at the back stick, but his leg's just not long enough to turn it home.
Goaaaaal from a penalty!

58 'Aaaaand Benzema makes no mistake there, sending Ter Stegen the wrong way. Madrid with one foot in the final.

-

Goaaaaaal!
en el 50' (Real Madrid)
-
50 'GOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLL FROM BENZEMAAAAAA!! Superb finish from the Frenchman there. He's given way too much space and time though and he makes the most of it, opening up his body and firingh in from just inside the box. Ter Stegen just couldn't get down there, it was right in the bottom corner and curling away from him the whole time.
-
46'We. Are. BACK UNDERWAYY! Big half for both sides here...
-
45'HT: Barca 0-1 Madrid (1-1). Ancelotti's side find themselves ahead at the break, arguably quite unjustly. Barca have had the lion's share of possession and Madrid just got their goal off the counter to snatch the lead at the break.
Goaaaaaal!

-
45 '45+1: GOOOOOOOAOAAAAALLLLL FOR MADRIIIDDD!!!! The away side get the opener off the counter, with the chance falling to Vini. The Brazilian puts it goal bound, and Kounde puts in a great dive to keep it out. Unluckily for his effort, it wasn't quite enough and it's forced over the line.

-
41'Bit of a lull in proceedings here, but Barca are comfortably defending their aggregate lead.
