CRISTIANO RONALDO CONTINUED his fine goal scoring record at the Nou Camp with a brace as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 to go through to the final of the Copa del Rey 4-2 on aggregate.

The Portuguese hit a first-half penalty…

Real Madrid will now take on the winners of Sevilla and Atletico Madrid who play tomorrow, the capital side enjoying a 2-1 lead from their first leg. Ronaldo has now scored in his last six visits to the Catalan capital and came out on top in his personal battle with Lionel Messi, who was largely anonymous in the game.

The Argentine, however, has the chance to respond when the pair meet again in the league at the weekend.
