Stuttgart 1-1 Barcelona (Champions League) – Video Highlights

Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted a precious second-half equaliser for holders Barcelona who snatched a 1-1 Champions League first-leg draw with plucky Stuttgart.

The hosts dominated the first half of the last-16 encounter and deservedly took the lead when Cacao headed powerfully into the back of the net.

The German side missed a host of further chances to extend their lead and were hit with a sucker punch after the break when Ibrahimovic side-footed home at the second attempt after Stuttgart keeper Jens Lehmann had made a fine save.

Lehmann, who was sent off for former club Arsenal against Barcelona after only 18 minutes of the 2006 Champions League final did not enjoy the best of nights and almost gifted the visitors a second-half winner.

He flapped at a cross from the left allowing Ibrahimovic a free shot at goal from close range that was cleared off the line by Cristian Molinaro.
