Barcelona continued to dominate after the break, with Xavi orchestrating the midfield and Messi causing constant problems for the Madrid defense. Andres Iniesta extended the lead to 3-0 in the 56th minute, finishing off a flowing team move with a cool finish.
Substitute Gerard Pique added a fourth goal in the 78th minute, heading in from a corner. Messi then capped off a memorable night with a sublime free-kick in the final minutes, sealing a resounding victory for Barcelona.
