Now we all know who Villarreal are. Champions League semi-finalists in 2006. La Liga runners-up in 2008. A former home for Manuel Pellegrini, Giuseppe Rossi and Marcos Senna.

But where is this place? It's actually on Spain's east coast and just a short car journey north of Valencia.

Only around 50,000 people live in the small city and it's trade is built on the production of ceramic tiles. It is home to four companies listed in Spain's top 500 businesses and all of them are in the ceramic tile trade.

Probably a good few discounts there if you're doing up the bathroom...

Messi ducks, weaves, dodges from the right flank. We all know he wants shooting space. He does what he wants. It's a swerver from 20 yards well fielded by Sergio Asenjo.

With every minute that ticks by, Barcelona will suck the life out of this bright Villarreal side.

The home side believe and Denis Cheryshev has been so impressive. He races to pluck a throw from the Barcelona goalkeeper out of the air, what a lovely blend of work ethic and delicate touch he showed there.

There is still much to be decided here and Mario Gaspar swings in from the right but Mateo Musacchio's volley is tame. It tells you a lot though that their defender is in the box like that. Belief.

Villarreal went 18 games unbeaten between November and February. Marcelino's side had a small wobble but are now back on a run of four games without loss.

Their leading goalscorer Luciano Vietto has 11 goals in 23 league appearances.

Ouch - Luciano Vietto is nailed by Gerard Pique. That's a booking.

Villarreal work the ball down the left flank - their area of major threat tonight - and Luciano Vietto is underneath a cross 10 yards out.

Big chance... he leaps like Michael Jordan... over the bar.

Vietto is the club's top scorer and linked with moves to England this week. Liverpool his apparent destination if you take tabloid talk as golden.

Intent. Villarreal down the right side work crossing space but goalscorer Jonathan Dos Santos can only find the hands of the goalkeeper.

They press again and win a throw high up the pitch. What do Barca do here? Conserve energy or try to settle this?

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has told the club he will sign a new contract if they recruit Edinson Cavani this summer, according to French paper L'Equipe., external

The Paris St-Germain striker is his number one target according to the report, which says the pair have already discussed the potential move on the phone.

Cavani is the most expensive player in French history, so his move could see Mario Mandzukic sold in order to generate sufficient buying power.

Spanish football writer Andy West sums up a half of three key moments...

Anyone fancy extra time?

The first-half stats show us Barcelona have had more ball but Villarreal have been more effective with it, creating more chances.

The left-flank has been a source of joy for Villarreal and they have plenty out there intent on being handfuls. Notably Denis Cheryshev and Tomas Pina.

A great half of football. The ethos of both sides is pure. Pass it, move and attack with vigour. Barcelona must have thought the game was up with Neymar's early goal but we have a crucial 20 minute spell to come after the break as Jonathan Dos Santos has changed the mood significantly.

Villarreal would have surely taken this. The fight lives on for a first final appearance in their history.

Marcelino will be thrilled to get them in at the break with some hope. Barca's players will enter a changing room to the sight of Sergio Busquets getting treatment. How much has that goal changed things?

Sergio Busquets is carried down the tunnel and Jeremy Mathieu is brought on. This will prompt a re-shuffle. The big Frenchman will drop in at centre-back and Javier Mascherano will move into midfield.

We will bring you the latest on Sergio Busquets but that looked bad enough to be long term.

Sergio Busquets is on the turf in serious pain. In the build-up to the goal he was caught by a follow through by Pina and all of the midfielder's weight went through Busquets's ankle. This could be a broken ankle. Busquets will be going off. A horrible sight. The replays take your breath away.

Have Villarreal worked on attacking Barcelona's right side? Tomas Pina, into the feet of Denis Cheryshev who is holding it up and feeds Jaume Costa down the left, here comes the cross...GOALLLL. Jonathan Dos Santos arriving bang on the money at the back post side foots a volley in.

Well taken, his run was perfectly picked out and Costa has threatened to create from that flank throughout.

Pina, to Jaume Costa, through to Cheryshev, snuffed out by Barca's back line and the counter attack is deadly.

Neymar is cutting in from the left, one on one with the final defender, he shapes in on his right foot and fires...blocked. Corner. Lionel Messi not happy a pull-back did not arrive.

The drum beats in the crowd but this is not half as vociferous as it looked like being when the teams emerged from the tunnel. Neymar's goal was a silencer.

Jonathan Dos Santos is in the book for putting his hand on the referee. This was no Paolo Di Canio moment, just an arm on shoulder to protest.

Gerard Pique is holding his groin and looks troubled and his team are too. Luciano Vietto...bang...blocked. From the loose ball a shot flies in from Mario Gaspar and deflects narrowly over with Marc-Andre ter Stegen struggling.

Villarreal have wasted good chances so far here and been made to pay.

You get the sense this will end up as one of two extremes. Either an unlikely fight back or an absolute trouncing.

Why? Because Villarreal have to commit and they are nearly caught out by Messi's genius again. An angled ball by the magician from around 30 yards out finds the run of Andres Iniesta in the area but his shot is blocked.

It is as if Messi is playing a computer game on times.
