Barcelona held to goalless draw in snowy, sub-zero Kazan
By Reuters

Barcelona endured another frustrating Champions League night against Rubin Kazan yesterday, the holder having to settle for a goalless draw in a Group F match played in sub-zero temperatures.

Barca, who suffered a shock 2-1 defeat by the Russians at the Nou Camp two weeks ago, missed the best chance in the second minute when Zlatan Ibrahimovic raced clear on to an Andres Iniesta pass and hit a post.

Barcelona took the game to the Champions League debutant from the opening whistle, and Ibrahimovic came desperately close when, faced with only keeper Sergei Ryzhikov to beat, he drifted his shot on to the far post.

The European champion pressed on, with Xavi trying to lob Ryzhikov from outside the box and Lionel Messi going wide with a long-range effort.

Ryzhikov, busy throughout the whole match, also denied Iniesta and Ibrahimovic before the interval. Barca keeper Victor Valdes did well to keep his concentration when faced with a rare threat, stopping Alexander Ryazantsev's low drive late in the first half.

Rubin substitute Alexander Bukharov could have scored against the run of play midway through the second half when he evaded two Barcelona defenders but Valdes beat him to the ball. Barca's last chance fell to substitute Thierry Henry but his left-footed shot flew well wide with the clock ticking down.
