Friday, 09 November 07, 06:39 AM

Leo Messi Thierry Henry Ronaldinho of FC BarcelonaSpanish La Liga football club FC Barcelona move closer to qualifying for the First Knock-out round of the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League after posting a 2-0 victory over Scottish Premier League club Rangers FC at the Nou Camp in Barcelona, Spain just recently.

Barcelona established an early lead in the 6th minute of the match when Barac striker Thierry Henry was able to recover a rebound from a Lionel Messi header that bounced off the post. Thierry Henry slid to put the ball in the back of the net, and give Barcelona 1 -0 advantage.

On the 43rd minute, Barca midfielder Ronaldinho was able to dribble through the defense and make a shot on the Rangers goal. Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor blocked Ronaldinho's shot, but wasn't able to stop the rebound by Barcelona Argentinian forward Lionel Messi, who scored the second goal for the Blaugrana.

The scoreline was kept at 2-0 and FC Barcelona earned 3 points to bring their points standings in Group E of the UEFA Champions League to 10 points. Barcelona are leaders of Group E followed by the Rangers with 7 points. French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyon have 6 points. Should Barcelona beat Lyon on their next UEFA Champions League match, Lyon could be prevented from qualifying should Rangers defeat German Bundesliga champions VfB Stuttgart, who haven't earned a single point in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. There are 2 matchdays left for the group stages.

VfB Stuttgart wil play host to the Rangers on November 27. Meanwhile, Lyon will be hoping that the home pitch advantage will keep their qualifying hoeps alive when they host FC Barcelona.
