Ronaldo puts Real Madrid into Spanish cup final

February 27, 2013 05:50 pm | Updated 05:50 pm IST - Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo guided Real Madrid into the final of the Spanish cup with two goals in the 3-1 romp on Tuesday at holders Barcelona.

Real’s third goal was headed in by promising French teenager Raphael Varane, who had scored in the 1-1 draw in the first leg three weeks ago in Madrid.

Left-back Jordi Alba scored a late consolation goal for Barca.

The whites went into the final on a surprisingly comfortable 4-2 aggregate against a Barca team who are clearly missing coach Tito Vilanova, who is still in New York for treatment of throat cancer.
