WATCH: Barcelona take shock lead at the Bernabeu courtesy of an own goal 

After surviving an early onslaught from Real Madrid, Barcelona have taken a shock lead at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The hosts starting Thursday’s Copa del Rey semi-final first leg like a house on fire, furiously closing down Barcelona, who looked shellshocked at times. Xavi Hernandez was furious on the touchline, clearly disappointed with his side’s start.

Karim Benzema had the ball in the net for Real Madrid, but he was flagged for offside. Barcelona did the same after 27 minutes, but their effort does count, awarded after a VAR check.

Ferran Torres played through Franck Kessie, whose shot was saved from Thibaut Courtois. Unfortunately for Real Madrid, the ball bounced off Eder Militao and into the net, despite the best efforts of Nacho Fernandez
