Barcelona Vs. Real Madrid, 2011 UEFA Champions League Semifinal: Marcelo Makes It 1-1

Wow. That's an instant impression from the Mesut Ozil-conducted Real Madrid attack. Good work in the centre entually sees Angel di Maria obliterating Dani Alves on the edge of the box, skipping into the Barcelona penalty and then beating Victor Valdes at his near post. Unfortunately for di Maria's personal glory, his shot is a little too good. It cannons off the upright and straight back at him, so he feeds the ball to left back Marcelo, who makes no mistake in finishing past Valdes and having Real Madrid new life. So that's 1-1, and the decision to disallow Gonzalo Higuain's earlier goal is now looking extremely interesting.

Madrid still need two goals in 25 minutes to get through, but that’s a lot better than three. Game on at the Camp Nou?

This is the fourth of four matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona. You can view our coverage of the April 16th, 20th and 27th matches here, here and here, with live coverage of Real Madrid vs Barcelona on May 3 in this story stream.
