London, February 22:

Liverpool came from behind to win 2-1 against defending champions Barcelona while Inter Milan were held to a 2-2 by Valencia, in the European Champions League. Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea held his former club, FC Porto, to a 1-1 draw, and Lyon were held 0-0 at AS Roma.

Craig Bellamy scored one goal and set up the second for John Arne Riise at Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium after Deco had given the home team a 14th-minute lead.

Raul Meireles volleyed Porto ahead in the 12th minute while Chelsea captain John Terry was off the field getting treatment for a calf muscle injury. Andriy Shevchenko equalised four minutes later when he took a pass from Arjen Robben and raced clear of the Porto defence to score.

Inter led twice at home before Valencia rallied.

Esteban Cambiasso scored in the 29th minute only for David Villa to equalise in the 64th. Brazilian Maicon restored the lead in the 76th but David Silva earned a valuable draw with a second equaliser with three minutes remaining.

Lyon’s Brazilian midfielder Juninho hit the post off a deflected shot in the eighth minute in Rome and English referee Mike Riley handed out 11 yellow cards, eight of them to AS Roma. The second leg matches are scheduled in two weeks.
