Barça vs Dynamo Kiev results

Final: Barça 2-1 Dynamo Kiev
Scored: Lionel Messi (5 pens) Piqué (65) – Tsygankov (75)

Although the game is quite deceptive in La Liga 2020/21, Barça’s form in the Champions League arena is completely opposite. After the first two games of Group G, the Catalan team won everything: crushing Ferencvaros (Hungary) 5-1 at the Camp Nou and above all defeating their direct competitor Juventus 2 goals without drawing on the ground. Italy.

In the past, Barça had many memorable encounters with Dynamo Kiev. For example, in 1997, the Catalunya team even lost with a total score … 0-7 to the representative of Ukraine after 2 games, including a 0-4 defeat at the Camp Nou. But at the time Dynamo Kyiv owned the Golden Generation, with the dominant wing being the once famous forward Andrei Shevchenko (currently the head coach of the Ukraine national team).

However, Dynamo Kiev is currently only a weak shadow compared to themselves. After 2 games in the group stage of the 2020/21 Champions League, they have not won any (draw 1, lost 1) and have only scored 2 goals. Without stopping there, half of the squad got infected with Covid-19, while the other three pillars were also absent due to injuries and suspensions.

In addition, the last 20 games at Camp Nou, the Catalunya team lost only 1 to great rival Real Madrid in El Clásico at the end of October, the rest won 16 and drew 3.

Compared to the 2-0 win over Juventus a week ago, coach Ronald Koeman made some adjustments. Goalkeeper Stegen returned to the wooden frame after recovering from injury and midfielder Piqué appeared due to the penalty. Midfielder Frenkie De Jong was retired to play as a midfielder with Piqué, leaving Lenglet out of the field.

The replacement for the Dutchman in the center of the field was the old general Busquets while the prodigy Ansu Fati was present in the attack (replacing Dembélé). Along with emerging talent Pedri, great superstar Lionel Messi and Griezmann (center kick), this is considered Barca’s most satisfied attack at the moment.

The new game has passed more than 4 minutes, Barça has found the opening marker. Messi was fouled in the 16m50 area and the referee signaled the penalty. El Pulga himself, and no one else, successfully made an 11-meter shot as usual to lead the home team in the lead.

This is the fourth goal for M10 since the start of the 2020/21 season (3 in the Champions League), but all four are from penalties. In the 7th minute, the young talent nicknamed “Nuevo Iniesta” Pedri (born 2002) almost increased the score to 2-0 if the shot was like a hammer to go lower so as not to hit the crossbar.

Goal line technology also shows that the ball when the ball hit the ground was completely on the lime line, not behind the line, so there could not be a goal. Most of the poor guests from Ukraine are fighting back. Defense and goalkeeper Neshcheret had to constantly work to protect the home team’s goal.

Several other times the ball was not far from the goal. After about 30 minutes of play, Dynamo Kiev not only suffered from the game, but was able to respond quite strongly, not only for having. Even in minute 35, goalkeeper Stegen did not play well, the Camp Nou team’s net had to vibrate after Buyalskiy’s header.

42 minutes, second half in the game Pedri has a shot in the 16m50 area after a pass from the right wing by Sergio Dest and this time the rival flies like a bird to push the ball. Immediately after that, Messi stretched out on an opponent’s leg and not far from the goal.

At the start of the second half, the Barça net had to vibrate after a corner kick, but the referee decided that the ball flew off the line before being hit by a Dynamo Kiev player to defeat Stegen.

In the 53rd minute, De Jong was unable to accompany Supriaha, giving the forward a chance to threaten Stegen, but the German goalkeeper won to save the home team. A few minutes later, Messi made a good free kick as the ball flew over the fence and aimed at the high angle, but goalkeeper Neshcheret flew wonderfully to save Dynamo Kiev.

In the 65th minute, Neshcheret added a rescue after Sergio Roberto’s header. However, in the end, the goalkeeper had to get into the net to collect the ball for the second time, in a corner Ansu Fati sent a cross to Piqué that bravely hit Neshcheret.

There is not much work, but Stegen maintains maximum concentration. In the 67th minute, he had to face the opponent directly and still excellently denied the goal. However, Stegen is defeated in the end. In the 75th minute, the German goalkeeper blocked Verbic’s new shot, but captain Tsygankov was quick to kick the empty net.

In the 79th minute, Dembele brought the ball to the center and then stretched to hit the high corner, but Neshcheret kept flying with precision to push the ball out. The rest of the time, both sides have a better chance of scoring but cannot take advantage of the success.

In the end, Barça achieved a resounding victory at home, but the 3 points were the most important. Not only that, with a record of winning the first 3 matches in Group G Champions League 2020/21, Barça considered one foot in the round of 16. It only takes 1 point / 3 matches left to complete the goal.
