Cristiano Ronaldo has gone down very easily in an interesting position for Real Madrid, and this is a big shooting chance for the Portuguese winger - straight down the middle and maybe 24 yards out. Sergio Ramos, meanwhile, is off the pitch receiving treatment after a bit of a knock sustained before Real wandered up the pitch. Barcelona made it pretty clear that they're unhappy that that foul was given, but that didn't stop Ronaldo from smashing a shot against the bottom of Victor Valdes' right post with the goalkeeper well beaten.

And that's not the end of things, either. The ball got up to the other end of the pitch, Raul Albiol tangled with David Villa, and managed to earn himself a red card and a Barcelona penalty. While the penalty was deserved, it was never a red card - the referee's made another poor decision and you have to think the game is now over. Lionel Messi wasted no time in smashing the ball past Iker Casillas to give the visitors a key 1-0 lead at the Santiago Bernabeu.
