Liverpool, Bayern held scoreless, Barca fail to break down Lyon

LONDON, Feb 20 (AP): Bayern Munich still can't find a way to score, let alone win at Liverpool.
In their fourth visit to Anfield, the German champions drew 0-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday to go a fourth game at the stadium without finding the net.
On a quiet night in the competition, the other game between Lyon and Barcelona was also scoreless.
By denying Bayern an away goal, Liverpool has a slight edge heading into the second leg of the round of 16 knowing it would advance with a scoring draw.
In a meeting of teams who have each lifted the European Cup five times and are second in their domestic leagues, there was little quality in front of goal.
Liverpool, with Virgil Van Dijk suspended and Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez both injured, started with its fourth-choice center back in Joel Matip and midfielder Fabinho playing alongside him.
Meanwhile, on a scoreless night in the Champions League, not even Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez could find a way to get a goal.
Barcelona's attacking stars were held in check by Lyon on Tuesday in a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, leaving the French side's hopes of causing a big upset very much alive.
Messi failed to add to his six goals so far in the competition, while Suarez had the goal gaping but sliced a shot wide with 20 minutes left after latching on to Jordi Alba's pass from the left.
When wasteful Barca did hit the target, Lyon's goalkeeper Anthony Lopes was in fine form.
Containing the five-time champion in the return leg on March 13 may prove far harder for Lopes and his defense if Messi and Suarez are back to their best.
