The pulsating exhibition match brought football royalty to Indian shores, rekindling the legendary rivalry between these Spanish giants.

Luis Figo, Real Madrid's skipper, was instrumental in the first goal. He was involved in a clever move that played Fernando Morientes through to the 14th-minute goal, which saw Los Blancos take an early lead. Real Madrid's defense remained solid despite Barcelona controlling possession and unleashing waves of attacks spearheaded by Xavi and Rivaldo.
