Dynamo Kiev 0-Barcelona 4 | The future begins in Kiev

Barcelona's unit B ensured the classification of the Blaugrana team for the second round of the Champions League with two days left for disputing an alignment that if they explained it to us a month ago we would not have given credit. The Blaugrana team won by a resounding 0-4 and wrote that the future of this team, whatever it may be, must go through the foundations that were laid in Kiev. The culé team sealed their ticket to the second round playing with Dest, Mingueza, Riqui, Pedri, Konrad, Aleñá and Trincão.

Koeman decided to take rotations to the extreme maximum true to his message the day of the preview in which he said that the situation in the group was comfortable enough to take risks. He left Messi and De Jong in Barcelona and in Kiev, Alba and Griezmann on the bench.

The result was a starting eleven in Barcelona in which there was only one player who had played in the last Champions League final that crowned the Blaugrana in 2015 in Berlin against Juventus: Ter Stegen. And regarding the Lisbon spanking of the summer, Lenglet accompanied him in a starting eleven of 24 years on average. On the day of Bayern 2-8 the team offered an average of 30 years.

The result of this approach was from the start a team more spirited than effective, but that ended up sweeping the rival based on push. From the outset, Barcelona regained dynamism at the cost of losing effectiveness, because in the last meters the team was lost. In the final stretch, it was found.

Among the good news to offer the Blaugrana parish, which is more than in need of them, the appearance of Mingueza, who complied and to whom the game was not great. Also, when you go out to play in Kiev in November in short sleeves, you want to convey something.

Aleñá also showed that his insistence on winning a site can have a prize. De Jong could well catch his spirit. And above all, Pedri. On the eve of his birthday the canary was the soul of the team and he did almost everything well. He was the leader of a team that also offered shadows because Coutinho and Pjanic, who theoretically should be the leaders of the group, turned back to profile.

That the game began to be played outside the goals is demonstrated by the fact that the first shot of the match between the three sticks, and the only one in the first half, came after 33 minutes of the match with an innocent kick from Trincão. Before, Coutinho had tried, but his shot had not gone even between the three suits.

Dinamo were non-existent in attack in the first half except for a couple of arrivals that they themselves conjured with their own forwards getting in the way in attack. Of course, in the last minute of the first half, Barça had the usual oversight, which finally came to nothing because Pena's center did not find a finisher.

In the resumption, Barça needed to insist on what they did well, the pace and intensity, and remedy their absence in attack. He did it, and in what way.

The solution was found where it was least expected, in the young full-back Sergiño Dest, who joined the attack possessed by the spirit of Belletti (comparing him with Alves are still bigger words) to snatch a ball from Braithwaite inside the area and cross it before Buschan's exit. The goal woke up Barça, who five minutes later took advantage of a corner kick combed by the debutant Mingueza for Braithwaite to make up for a suspicious performance.

With the 0-2 Koeman was encouraged to move the bench and gave entry to Riqui Puig, the young man who could feel separated from that revolution, Griezmann and Alba, who entered through Lenglet relocating Junior as central.

Barça did not decompose even when Matheus, a player who has not been nor presented, entered for Pedri making his debut for Blaugrana. The Blaugrana team were already winning 3-0 after Braithwate converted a penalty committed on himself. With Barça growing with the power of a teenager, Griezmann scored the fourth, thus giving Dynamo Kiev the 0-4 that Shevchenko and Rebrov's team endorsed the Blaugrana 23 years ago. An account from the past is settled and a hopeful future opens up.
