Vinicius Jr. had given Real Madrid an early lead before Luuk De Jong equalized for Barcelona. Karim Benzema then scored to give Madrid the lead again, but Ansu Fati's goal sent the game into extra time. Valverde had the last word after intervening at close range.

The Uruguayan midfielder celebrated by holding up his shirt in front of the fans - as Messi did in previous Clasico clashes.

Despite the shortcomings, Barcelona held their ground and arguably did better than you would expect.

In a title race in La Liga with Sevilla's two horses for the title, Real may well know, but Barcelona is in the midst of a massive rebuilding due to ongoing financial difficulties.

New head coach Xavi Hernandez has been tasked with overhauling a subpar team as he continues to challenge for the honours.

In addition to a string of underwhelming signings in recent years, Barcelona had to adjust to life without a talisman after Messi left the club to join Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

But lately, things have improved under the legendary Barcelona midfielder. Xavi insists his team have to get results against their old rivals.

"This game is meant to be striking because I'm sad and irritated," Barcelona president said. "At the beginning, but once we got over that I think we are better than Madrid we were a bit complicated.

"I'm not abused but over the performance, but it is the right path for us to be competitive, we took a lot of difficulties. We are on the right track, we can be proud. But I'm sad because we want to be in the final.

"It was our mistakes that let us down. We have to take responsibility for the ball, we did not counterattack. But we will grow out of it. We can compete with anyone."

Last season's champions Atlético Madrid will face Athletic Bilbao on Thursday to determine who will face Real Madrid in Sunday's final in Riyadh.
