Hotel bar, I'll get them in. Maybe a tequila to warm up?

and normal time comes to a close as whistles blow around the world...

OK. Who wants Cavani or Higuain? Fed up with the lack of big game delivery.

Hotel bar, I'll get them in. Maybe a tequila to warm up?

regardless of what the final result is, my boys have earnt themselves some kind of bonus! Well except Javi Martinez he could be giving some money to charity for his sending off!!!

I'll have Cavani

I'll settle for the tequila to start with!

so celebrations for Manchester City, Boca Juniors, Nantes, Schalke and Inverness, commiserations to the rest of you and extra time in Spain...so over to Jimmy Wagg and Jimmy Greaves for extended coverage of the extra time there...

come on Barca, you can do this!

Lucio wins possession and finds Gourcuff on the edge of the box, he shoots but Valdes saves it.

What is going on!

Barca then raid straight back with Arbeloa crossing for Villa who avoids Pique but shoots straight at Casillas.

time to get the crosses in for Llorente.

even arbeloa's trying to help us!

Casillas finds Abidal, who plays it into Gourcuff who powers forward, unchallenged, shoots from long range and into the top corner of the goal, what a stunner.

Real Madrid 3 Barcelona 2

9 minutes into extra time.

Moutinho wins an important ball for Real as Barca build from the kickoff, but it eventually goes back to Puyol, who loses out evetually to Moutinho, who fights back to win possession, just as the whistle goes for the end of half.

Some French Flair to sort this out

the second half begins and its become a real war of attrition now with Moutinho fighting for every ball, but eventually Albiol breaks away with it, finds Xabi, then Mata, he gets to the goalline, then whips in a high cross...
