Barcelona were held to a 0-0 home draw by Galatasaray in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday as Scottish side Rangers kept their momentum in the competition going with a 3-0 win over Red Star Belgrade.

Katai had put the ball in the net twice in the first half, only to be thwarted by the offside flag, but he and his team-mates were again left shaking their heads in the 51st minute when defender Leon Balogun, back in for Borna Barisic, powered in a header from a Tavernier corner.

Auba and Busquets on for the second half? Xavi was clearly unimpressed by his side in the first 45 minutes as he makes a triple substitution for the second period. 69th Min: Galatasaray boss Domenec Torrent looks to change his charges up for the final minutes with a double change as Bafetimbi Gomis and Emre Kilinc come on and Ryan Babel and Mostafa Mohamed go off. 50th Min: First chance of the second period for Barcelona but Memphis' free kick just evades Pique and Galatasaray clear their lines. 61st Min: As a frustrated Memphis lashes one over the top Xavi calls the Dutchman to come off as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang replaces him.
