It was all Barca then in the second half, within just ten minutes Xavi found Villa who finished perfectly making it 3-0 for the Catalans. Jordi Alba finished it off in the stoppage time with his brilliant run and finish making it 4-0 for the home side, completing their comeback and marching through to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
