On Tuesday, November 24, the Champions League group stage match took place, in which Dynamo Kiev lost to Barcelona at home (0: 4). At the same time, the culés were far from being the strongest team. The Spanish media paid a lot of attention to the last game.
“The future begins in Kiev”, – the edit is optimistic AS.
The Barça double ensured the Blaugrana Champions playoffs with a squad that we would not have believed a month ago. Barcelona won 4-0, which shows that the future of the team, whatever it may be, must rest on the foundations laid in Kiev. The Blaugranas secured their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League with Dest, Minguez, Puig, Pedri, de la Fuente, Aleña and Trincan.
Koeman decided to make the maximum rotation, having stated in advance that the situation in the group was at risk. He left Messi and De Jong in Barcelona, and in Kiev, Alba and Griezmann on the bench.
As a result, Barcelona’s starting lineup included only one footballer who played in the Champions League final against Juventus in 2015: goalkeeper Ter Stegen. The result of this approach was that from the beginning the team was more energetic than effective, but in the end it won the rival thanks to its mistakes.
Among the good news is the appearance in the field of Mingesa. Alenya also showed his desire to gain a foothold in the starting lineup. Pedri should be highlighted. On the eve of his birthday, the footballer became the real soul of the team, he did it all. He was the leader, despite the presence of Coutinho and Pjanic on the field.
In the first half, the Dynamo practically did not attack, except for a few moments. We can remember the dangerous lumbago of De Pena, who did not find the addressee.
After the break, Barça needed to use their strengths: the pace and intensity of the game. The decision came from where it was not expected. Young Serginho Dest stepped into the attack, apparently possessed by Belletti’s spirit (too early to compare him to Dani Alves) to send the ball into the far corner of Buschan. The goal woke up Barça, who five minutes later took advantage of a corner kick by the debutant Mingesa and Brightwaite scored a goal.
With the score 0: 2, Koeman gave Ricky Puchu a chance, and also released Griezmann and Alba. Barcelona kept the game design, even when the little-known Matheus came out in place of Pedri. The guests went ahead 3-0 after Brightwaite converted the penalty. Then Griezmann scored the fourth goal, returning the Dynamo 4: 0, with which Shevchenko and Rebrov’s team defeated Barcelona 23 years ago (on November 5, 1997, the Dynamo beat Barcelona 4: 0, Shevchenko scored a hat -trick, Rebrov scored another goal (editor’s note). That scoreboard has closed and a hopeful future opens up, “he says about the match. AS.
“In 1/8 final with a double”, – summarizes the fight Brand.
“Crowded with substitutes, Barcelona Kiev have solved the problem of reaching the Champions League playoffs. There is only one question left: will Barça come out of the first or second place in the group?
With four victories in four group stage matches, Barcelona have repeated their best start in Champions League history in 2002/2003, forgetting for a time their shaky league performance. The Olimpiyskiy game was an opportunity for many Blaugrana players. Of note is the debut of central defender Mingesa, a youth player, who will now be very important for Kuman amid the injuries of the main defenders. Alenya entered the game well and surpassed Pjanic in creation. Firpo and Dest were active on the flanks, and in the second half Brightwaite woke up as well.
The substitutes from the beginning of the game against the Dynamo took the initiative into their own hands. For the Kievans it was clear that their task was to find weak points in the Barça squad. Despite the obvious superiority of the guests, they practically did not create dangerous moments. The maximum is a pair of long distance shots made by Coutinho and Trinkan. The charges of Mircea Lucescu felt very uncomfortable, Ter Stegen practically did not interfere in the game.
After the break, everything changed. Both teams came out with a different attitude, the Ukrainians attacked Ter Stegen’s goal more in the first five minutes than in the entire first half. Mingesa prevented the Kyivans from opening an account, and Dest, who stole the ball from Brightwaite and got into the corner of Buschan’s goal, did not make a mistake as part of Barcelona. Barcelona did not spare the Dynamo: Brightwaite scored a double and the match was over. He scored the first goal with a Mingesa pass, the second from the penalty spot.
When the outcome of the match was clear, Koeman let Puig, Mateus and the American de la Fuente make their debut. The latter could have scored a goal, leaving only the first team, but from a good position he hit higher. But Griezmann did not miss from outside the penalty area, marking the final score – 4: 0 in favor of Barcelona. The Catalans faced the task without Piquet, De Jong, Busquets, Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto, Dembélé … And that is good news. But success in European competition must be confirmed in La Liga. The next game is against Osasuna, – writes Brand.
Kuman’s plan was outstanding “, – supports publishing Sports world.
“The plan of the Dutch coach Ronald Koeman was a success. Barcelona won with a good score in the match against Dynamo Kiev itself and reached the knockout stages of the Champions League. With a squad full of young players, no Messi and De Jong were left in Barcelona, nor Griezmann, Busquets, Alba and, of course, no Piquet injured at the start. The youth of Barcelona demand to bet on it.
Barcelona dominated from the start of the match and controlled the ball very well. He set a good pace in the first half, but forgot to shoot on target. The guests pushed forward with wingers and shoved the Dynamo defender into a corner.
Mircea Lucescu’s tactic was much more timid than at the Camp Nou. Dynamo defended nearly nine players. In the first half, the Kiev fans created only a few half chances: Ter Stegen caught the ball after De Pena’s shot and Verbic’s shot was blocked in the last second.
After the break, the Dynamo came out of the dressing room much happier than in the first half. But Barça was much more powerful. Everything was decided in the blink of an eye. First, Dest scored his first goal for Barcelona, then Brightwaite scored a double. The Dane closed the second post after Mingesa’s pass, then converted the penalty after Popov’s foul. Antoine Griezmann put a point in the match ”, sums up the match Sports world.
The Spanish media highly praise the young Barcelona players, who played a high-quality game against Dynamo. Journalists see these players as the future of the Catalan team. The Dynamo chose too timid tactics, which, however, did not save the Kiev club from a major defeat.
