Rubin draws 0-0 with Barcelona in Champs League

Rubin Kazan held off the constant attacking of defending champion Barcelona to earn a 0-0 draw Wednesday in the Champions League. Barcelona dominated possession but lacked sharp finishing against Rubin's disciplined defense, leaving the two teams tied for first place in Group F. The visitors came closest after only two minutes, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic curled a shot past goalkeeper Sergei Ryzhikov onto the outside of the post after a precision through pass by Xavi Hernandez.
