Goals: None.

Barcelona are on target for a place in the last 16 after drawing 0-0 at Rangers. Frank Rijkaard's side had most of the possession, but they were unable to break through a well disciplined defence. Messi had a shot cleared off the line by ex Osasuna defender Cuéllar early on, Ronaldinho saw his free kick tipped on to the bar by McGregor, and Puyol almost sneaked a header past the keeper close to half time. And Ronaldinho felt he should have had penalty when a defender blocked his shot with his arm before the break, and Henry headed over soon after the restart.

But gradually they ran out of steam, and Rangers started to believe they could get more than a draw from the match. Ferguson and Novo both failed to get on the end of Cousin's cross, McCullough fired a shot over, and Cousin drove another effort just wide of the far post. But in the end both sides settled for a draw, which leaves them tied on seven points, four points clear of neatest rivals Lyon. The rematch is at the Nou Camp in two weeks time.
