Welcome to our coverage of Barcelona v Rubin Kazan at the Camp Nou in the final game of Group D.

There goes the final whistle! And Barca win it 2-0! Rubin head out of the competition with barely a whimper...

Messi! Ooooh! Wide of the mark from the Argentine ace!

The home fans finally bring up some sustained noise as they celebrate another victory.

So, Barca look to have ended Rubin's hopes this season, although the Russian side did themselves no favours...

Mascherano puts in a typically robust challenge and Rubin have a free-kick.

GOAL! BARCA MAKE IT TWO! Vazquez keeps his cool to finish after Busquets plays his in on goal! Excellent finish! 2-0 Barca!

No, they go short instead and decide to just keep possession.

Busquets wins a free-kick and Barca now have the chance to stick in a decent ball...

Messi again hares off on another run to the heart of the Rubin defence... they're scared stiff of him - and rightly so!

Rubin make another change... off goes Karadeniz and on comes Bystrov.

Messi! Brilliant! He passes four Rubin players before seeing his eventual strike well blocked! He really has lit up this game!

Prior to tonight, Messi has fired in 15 shots on target, the joint-most in the Champions League along with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Twenty minutes remaining and it looks very bleak for Rubin - Copenhagen are 2-0 up in the other game.

Vazquez lets fly from distance... it's a terrific strike, but it's well blocked!

The goal and Messi's introduction have changed the tempo of the game completely. This is far more enjoyable to watch now.

Messi again teases the Rubin defence... his control of the ball is simply sensational!

Martins is sacrificed for Medvedev as Rubin make another change.

Here comes Messi! He cuts inside across the face of the penalty area before unleashing a shot! Wide this time, but menacing!

Barca are still dominating possession... and still Rubin are doing little to upset their play...

So, there may well be more goals to come tonight now we have the mercurial Messi on the pitch.
