Morientes opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 14th minute, capitalising on a well-worked move orchestrated by Luis Figo and Michael Owen.

The second half saw the intensity rise as Barcelona pushed hard to break through the Real defence. With the crowd roaring them on, they turned up the heat, launching wave after wave of attacks. Just as Barcelona looked close to scoring, Real Madrid doubled their lead in the 69th minute. A moment of brilliance from David Barral saw him skip past two legendary defenders — Carles Puyol and Frank de Boer — before calmly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper.

The strike further energised the Madrid camp and left the crowd at DY Patil Stadium in awe.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
