Donetsk: Barcelona would play their first Champions League match under interim coach Sergio Barjuan who had to replace Dutch legend Ronald Koeman for the time being before allegedly Xavi Hernandez could take over.
Although Barjuan started his time with a draw against Deportivo Alves in the last week in La Liga, Barcelona would hope to bolster their chances of qualification to the next round with a consecutive win against Dynamo Kyiv. The Barcelona camp had gone through a huge blow after Sergio Aguero was confirmed to be out for three months with cardiac issues after a check-up following the star’s discomfort during the Alaves encounter.
