Barcelona lost 2-1 at home to unheralded Russian side Rubin Kazan and Liverpool were beaten by the same score to visiting Lyon as the big teams struggled in the Champions League today.
Rubin Kazan had taken just one point from the first two matches in their debut appearance in the group stage but twice led at Camp Nou to overturn a team containing Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Andres Iniesta.
Barcelona should still advance to the next round but Liverpool may be in trouble after Cesar Fabian Delgado scored in injury time to hand the five-time European champions a fourth straight loss for the first time in 22 years.
Liverpool are third in their group, six points behind leading Lyon.
In other games, Fiorentina won 4-3 at Debreceni, Arsenal drew 1-1 at AZ Alkmaar, Sevilla beat Stuttgart 3-1 and Inter Milan and Dynamo Kiev drew 2-2.
