The departure of Ronald Koeman was unable to provide the lift that Barcelona would have hoped for as they drew 1-1 at home to Alaves last weekend, but it is vital that interim boss Sergi Barjuan is able to guide the Blaugrana to a much-needed three points in the Champions League as they take on Dynamo Kyiv this Tuesday night at the NSK Olimpisky.
Dynamo Kyiv 0-0 Barcelona - LIVE SCORE
This is the start of our Dynamo Kyiv vs Barcelona live blog, with our updates from this Champions League group-stage game following on from here. As always, the entries nearest the top are the most recent ones.
17:00 BST: Dynamo Kyiv vs Barcelona preview
With just one Champions League win to their name so far this season, Barcelona know that only a another three-point haul will suffice as they travel to face Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine on Tuesday evening.
The Catalans, without the recently dismissed Ronald Koeman, have already lost to both Benfica and Bayern Munich in Champions League Group E, leaving them troubled in third place after beating Dynamo Kyiv last time out. The Ukrainian side have one point themselves, having drawn against Benfica, but Barcelona won't want to settle for Europe League football in the new year and, as such, they know that they need to win on Tuesday and then hope for the best in the return games against the Portuguese side and Bayern to have a chance at progression.
It won't be easy for Barcelona, though, as interim coach Sergi Barjuan has an injury crisis to deal with. It'll be difficult just to put a starting XI together.

Does busquets have shares at Barcelona? How is he still starting ? This kind of foolishness would never happen at bigger clubs like Real Madrid or Liverpool Smh
Every player has his time ,because he was the best in his position 5-10 years ago don’t mean he’s the best now ,busquets can’t make it in no other team ,let’s be realistic here ,his time is up xavi and inesta hang up there boots when they were still called the best in the world ,if he don’t hang his up at the end of the season he won’t be considered the best in his position

I’m not rooting against Barca. But I get a bad feeling it’s not going to be their day.

the same busquet that won d MVP in d nations league that Spain almost won???? He is old but stil the best midfielder we have at d moment. he only needs young guys around him who will do d running for him.

We Barcelona have no other option. who else is available??? As long as he is fit, he will always play. He is the captain, and mouthpiece of the club in absence of Pique who is always the speaker.

I think he's one of the best player at Barcelona right now, he dictates play and he's so calm on the ball

We have to play Nico at DMF. We really need to find a replacement for Busquets ASAP. De Jong and Nico should play some minutes in DMF. Can try Pedri as well since he is a player with exceptional work rate.
