Barcelona are finally on the board in this season’s Champions League group stage and remain alive in the race for second place thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev at Camp Nou. Barça were boring from start to finish, but Gerard Piqué’s first half finish was enough to guarantee a crucial victory at home.
FIRST HALF
Barça attacked from the very beginning, dominating possession and sending bodies forward. Their gameplan was simple: pass the ball from side to side until it reached Jordi Alba, and then Alba would send a cross into the box looking for Luuk De Jong.
