Mesut Ozil gave Real a 13th-minute lead before David Villa and Lionel Messi put Barcelona ahead at the break.
The Spanish and European champions then celebrated their interval advantage by announcing that they had finally agreed a deal with Arsenal to end their long-running pursuit of Cesc Fabregas.
But Real took a little shine off the news when Xabi Alonso levelled the tie nine minutes into the second half. Barcelona boss Josep Guardiola remained cautious over Wednesday's second leg.
"We hope that with our crowd we will have an advantage," he said. "I'm satisfied with our efforts tonight, but they were dangerous," he said.
