HOLDERS BARCELONA suffered their first Champions League defeat in 10 matches last night when goals from Aleksandr Ryazantsev and Gokdeniz Karadeniz gave Rubin Kazan a 2-1 win in their Group F clash.

Barca were rocked back by the Russian champions in the second minute at the Camp Nou when midfielder Ryazantsev let fly from distance and the ball arrowed past Victor Valdes into the top right corner.

Xavi picked out Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the 48th minute and the Sweden striker controlled with his chest and crashed a low shot past Sergei Ryzhikov for the equaliser before Karadeniz sped through to put Rubin back ahead with around 20 minutes left.

Ibrahimovic sent an acrobatic volley against the crossbar and Xavi stung Ryzhikovs hands with a fierce drive but Pep Guardiolas side were unable to find a second equaliser.

Inter Milan failed to win in the Champions League for the eighth straight game when they were forced to come from behind twice in a 2-2 home draw with Dynamo Kiev at the San Siro.

Enterprising Dynamo took the lead after five minutes when Taras Mikhalik was given time to rifle in off the post following poor Inter defending.

Dejan Stankovic brought Inter level on 35 minutes after a quick break but parity did not last long with Inters Lucio nodding a corner into his own net under pressure.

Walter Samuel made it 2-2 with a header just after the break but Inter, who could struggle to qualify after three draws, could easily have lost with former AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko missing a great chance for Kiev.
