With this result, the team coached by Gerardo Martino stepped smoothly into the top eight , as in the first leg was imposed by 4-0 .
Just a reminder fed the illusion of Madrid . In the semifinals of this tournament in 2007,
had set Barca 5-2 in the first game and the Blues had reversed the story with a memorable 4-0 . With very different realities then , the meeting never gave sense to put something into play.
In line with this, the Catalans showed their usual virtues in controlling the ball, neat distribution and management of the periods of play , but did not show the greed of other days . In fact, the first serious chance to break the zero belonged to the local . After 19 minutes , Lafita sent a short cross from the left , and combed Sarabia rig distortion to Bartra , Juan Rodríguez a powerful volley volley Pinto showed his best reflexes to prevent the fall of his bow .
In a game of low intensity and in which the result did not represent a concern , the bad news for Barca gave Neymar , who after 21 minutes burst down the left, pulled the ball back and lay on the grass the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez , with a sharp pain in his right ankle that forced him to leave the field.
Before halftime , the grimace of concern left by the departure of Brazilian mutated by a slight smile grace of Messi. Rosario took a precise pass from Cristian Tello, anticipated and pushed Rafa to mark 1-0 .
The supplement did not change the tone of a training groups, due to the decision not to wear the Barcelona machine more than necessary impotence and the Madrid team , which changed names but not attack again unsettle Pinto.
