Well, things are really interesting at the Camp Nou now. Karim Benzema, on as a substitute for the disappointing Gonzalo Higuain, has just justified the switch and brought the match back to level terms after a brilliant piece of attacking play. Barcelona have looked vulnerable at the back all evening and Real Madrid had been unable to take advantage, but a goal by Cristiano Ronaldo got things going and now we've got our second.
Xabi Alonso headed a clearance back towards Barcelona's goal and Benzema managed to beat Carles Puyol to the ball, left him in the dust with a clever turn, and then while falling over backwards, slipped the ball past Jose Pinto and into the back of the net. So it's 2-2 now, and 4-3 Barcelona on aggregate. If Madrid can find another goal, they're through. Wow.
