Barcelona won the first leg thanks to a pair of goals from Lionel Messi in the 76th minute and the 87th. Both goals came after Madrid play with ten men following a red card received by defender Pepe in the 60th minute.
Other Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, also received a yellow card due to violation of Messi in the 53rd minute. It was the third yellow card received by Ramos in three different games and with so Ramos certainly miss the party next week's second semi-final.
For Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, this is the fifth year in a row he watched his team against Barcelona with ten players (including when he was experiencing the same thing when dealing with Inter Milan).
