The Catalan giants edged closer to a probable semi-final meeting with Real Madrid by putting the Ukrainians to the sword at the Camp Nou



Barcelona staked their claim for a semi-final berth in the Champions League by ruthlessly despatching Shakhtar Donetsk 4-1 at the Camp Nou this evening.

Goals from Andres Iniesta, Dani Alves and Gerard Pique handed the home side a position of dominance, and although the visitors pulled a goal back through Rakitskiy, Seydou Keita's piledriver and Xavi's late fifth swung the pendulum back in favour of the 2009 European champions, with Real Madrid potentially lying in wait in the last four.
