So it's 1-0 Barcelona and now Real Madrid are just going to go into full-fledged angry mode. Emmanuel Adebayor's first contribution is to foul everyone in sight, Ricardo Carvalho-style, and soon after a Madrid player joins Carvalho in Frank de Bleeckere's book for naughty boys. It's not Adebayor, however - instead it's Lassana Diarra who's issued a caution after he wins the ball but goes through Pedro in the process.
Barcelona Vs. Real Madrid, 2011 UEFA Champions League Semifinal: Lassana Diarra Earns Booking; Kaka Off For Mesut Ozil
Kaka, meanwhile, is off the pitch, with Mesut Ozil replacing him, which is a move which, again, seems totally pointless. Real have half an hour to score three goals at the Camp Nou, without conceding anybody in the process. They’d be just as well off introducing a swarm of bees or Jose Mourinho’s pet lion Fred. This game is done and dusted. Prediction: There will be at least one major injury suffered by a Barcelona player this half.
