At 00:45 Beijing time on October 21, the third round of the Champions League group stage continued, with the champions league winner Barcelona playing at home to Dynamo Kiev. In the first half, Pique broke the deadlock; in the second half, neither team achieved anything. In the end, Barca beat Dynamo Kiev 1-0 to win the Champions League for the first time of the season and rose to 3rd place in the group.
In the first two rounds of the group stage, Barca lost 3-0 at home to Bayern, and lost 0-3 away to Benfica, 0 points and 0 goals at the bottom of the group; Dynamo Kiev also scored 0 goals, but grabbed 1 point.
In the 36th minute, Alba's cross from 45 degrees on the left was met by an unguarded Pique shovel at the back post! Barca lead 1-0!
Barca's first Champions League goal of the season has finally arrived! At 34 years and 260 days, Pique also became the oldest Champions League goalscorer in Barca's history. At the same time, he also equalled Roberto Carlos, becoming the most goal-scoring defender in the 62-year history of the Champions League. In desperate moments, it is still up to Barca's second captain - "Pi Shenfeng"!
In the end, Barca beat Dynamo Kiev 1-0 to win five consecutive games in the two teams' nearly 11-year record. At the same time, Barca also used this victory to get rid of the bottom position of Group E.
Even with a win, Barca's qualifying situation is still precarious. In the face of Dynamo Kiev, whose value and paper strength are far lower than their own, Barca's effective attack is pitiful, and even if Koeman continues to deploy troops in the second half, he is still unable to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players and expand the lead again.
Perhaps the only good news for barca at the moment is the imminent completion of a contract extension with the new No. 10 Fati. According to Radio Searle, news of the contract extension between the two sides could be announced after the Champions League match.
