Champions League: Barcelona train in Lyon ahead of clash
Barcelona were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at Lyon in their Champions League last-16 first leg as both sides remained undefeated in this season's competition.
The La Liga leaders dominated the match at the Groupama stadium but lacked accuracy up front and were grateful to their goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen who made two great saves.
Lyon were lively in the first half but ran out of steam after the break and were holding on in the closing stages as Lionel Messi tried in vain to open up the home defence.
The second leg will be at the Nou Camp on March 13.
