(CNN) At the same time Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was being joyously thrown into the air by his team, Barcelona's dejected players trudged off the pitch at the Camp Nou. The Catalan team has been in turmoil both on and off the pitch for some time now, so perhaps a performance and defeat like this one should no longer come as a surprise. Lionel Messi, the club's captain and talisman, cut a frustrated figure on the pitch. So much so, that he threw his arm up in annoyance when scoring Barcelona's equalizer in the second half, rather than celebrating. "We didn't expect to finish in this way, but it sums up the year for us," Messi told Spanish television after the match.
