Madrid (FCB).- Barça lost the Spanish Super Cup in Madrid by the narrowest of margins after they were defeated 2-1 and with the 3-2 win in the Camp Nou last week lost on the away goals rule. FC Barcelona could walk away with their heads high though, as they came back from a poor start, finding themselves two down and with just ten men within the first half hour. Adriano’s red was a tough blow, but Messi’s goal at the end of the half brought Tito Vilanova’s team right back into the tie.
The Madrid crowd were made to suffer despite their team playing the last hour with that one man advantage, as Barça’s ten men then put in a great second half, with chances for Pedro, Alba, Montoya and in the dying seconds, Messi, whose shot went inches wide.
