Barcelona will face Manchester United in the semi-finals of the Champions League, after stuttering past Schalke 1-0 at the Camp Nou to complete a 2-0 aggregate victory.

Yaya Toure’s first-half strike provided the solitary high note to a wholly unconvincing performance from Frank Rijkaard’s side, who did little to defuse growing frustration among their supporters.

Armed with a 1-0 lead from the first-leg, Barca lined up with Thierry Henry and Krkic Bojan in support of Samuel Eto’o. It was a statement of attacking intent, but they found themselves forced to defend for almost the entirety of a one-sided first half.
