A Messi-less Blaugrana side will make a long trip to face the Ukrainian side with nothing but winning the group on their minds.

We are halfway through the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, and Barcelona could secure their spot in the next round if they can find a way to take all the points back home when they visit Dynamo Kyiv.

In paper, this game should not represent a major problem for Barcelona, but reality could hand los Culés a massive blow, since many of their first-team players will not be around to help in their quest for three more points. Hence, this game could give coach Ronald Koeman a big headache, especially since we consider that Los Culés have not been as impressive and dominant as they were in previous seasons.

As for Dynamo, this might be their final chance to earn a spot in the next round, but even a win may not do the trick for Mircea Lucescu's men. The Ukrainians have only collected one point, and in the event of a draw or a loss, the blue and white side will have to set their minds on beating Ferencvaros for the UEFA Europa League ticket up for grabs.

Curiously, this game will not feature any of either team's top scorers, as Lionel Messi will not travel with the squad so he can rest. Meanwhile, Dynamo's Viktor Tsygankov will have to watch thi match from home, as he has been left out of the squad due to a possible COVID-19 diagnosis.
