As luck would have it, Barcelona and Rubin Kazan have met twice in the Champions league group stages in the last decade.
In the four games, which the Spanish giants only won one of (drew two and lost one), superstar striker Messi failed to net past Rhyzikov.
A mind-boggling statistic, but Rubin Kazan were keen to let the world know they have a 'legend' between the sticks.
