Following the histrionics from the first leg, which darkened the name of Spanish football, did these two teams manage to restore their reputation last night by reducing the amount of simulation? We chart the amount of diving at Camp Nou.
Messi sent flying
With Barca's Argentine wizard running at full speed 12 minutes in, Ricardo Carvalho sticks a foot out and brings him down. The touch was soft, a yellow card comes out.
Shouldering the blame
Messi sets off on 17 minutes but Lassana Diarra muscles him out with a strong shoulder. The Argentine throws himself on the floor and the referee tells him to get up.
Wing play wasted
Angel Di Maria, Real's Argentine wideman, dribbles past two players on 26 minutes, loses the ball and throws himself down. A dive, but the ref is not fooled.
Carvalho on a tight rope
It appears as though the Portuguese centre-back has clobbered Messi; a replay shows he barely touched him. The referee gives a foul and Barca players call for a second yellow.
That's how to do it
Barca's Javier Mascherano perfects the art of diving with a perfect tumble over Xabi Alonso on 29 minutes.
Luck not to see red
Carvalho is a split second late on Messi just before the break - the referee could have given a second yellow.
Goal disallowed
Just after half time, Ronaldo charges towards the box and falls, catching Mascherano. As the ball rolls to Gonzalo Higuain to score, Mascherano is performing several forward rolls that see the goal chalked off.
Luck not to see red
Sergio Busquets is replicating his first leg antics. Second to the ball on 57 minutes, his scream of "agony" still manage to get Diarra booked.
Not the Real deal
Alvaro Arbeloa, the Real right-back shows that defenders know how to dive too. Jumps over Mascherano's foot on 69 minutes. No free kick.
Bad sportsmanship
Diarra goes in fair on Mascherano, who rolls around trying to get the Real man sent off. Disgraceful.
Verdict
Mascherano and Busquets the main culprits. Not as bad as the first leg, but could it have got any worse?

Tips for newlyweds to better manage finances
All couples are unique and have to create a financial blueprint that is most suitable for their relationship, says Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer at Century Financial. He offers his top five tips for couples to better manage their finances.
Discuss your assets and debts: When married, it’s important to understand each other’s personal financial situation. It’s necessary to know upfront what each party brings to the table, as debts and assets affect spending habits and joint loan qualifications. Discussing all aspects of their finances as a couple prevents anyone from being blindsided later.
Decide on the financial/saving goals: Spouses should independently list their top goals and share their lists with one another to shape a joint plan. Writing down clear goals will help them determine how much to save each month, how much to put aside for short-term goals, and how they will reach their long-term financial goals.
Set a budget: A budget can keep the couple be mindful of their income and expenses. With a monthly budget, couples will know exactly how much they can spend in a category each month, how much they have to work with and what spending areas need to be evaluated.
Decide who manages what: When it comes to handling finances, it’s a good idea to decide who manages what. For example, one person might take on the day-to-day bills, while the other tackles long-term investments and retirement plans.
Money date nights: Talking about money should be a healthy, ongoing conversation and couples should not wait for something to go wrong. They should set time aside every month to talk about future financial decisions and see the progress they’ve made together towards accomplishing their goals.
