Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Barcelona and Dynamo Kiev in Group G of the Champions League. You would have thought Ronald Koeman's men would have kicked on after convincing 2-0 victory over Juventus last time out in Europe but Barca stalled once again at the weekend, drawing against 10-man Alaves. A victory tonight should be almost certain against a Dynamo side missing 13 first-team players, but it's 2020, so who knows? Kick-off is an hour away and team news follows next!

End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time: Barcelona hold on to claim the most unconvincing of victories against a second-string Dynamo Kiev side. This was not pretty, but Barca have three victories from three in Group G.
90'
THREE minutes of added-time to play!
88'
Dynamo win two quick-fire corners. Anxiety is heightened at Camp Nou. Ter Stegen punches the first delivery and they clear their lines from the second.
86'
Dynamo sub: Lednev replaces Buyalskyi. A final throw of the dice from the visitors?

What a save! Dembele carves inside and strikes with his right foot. It's goal-bound but Neshcheret makes an acrobatic save to tip it over!
77'
Now Koeman will be sweating. His side haven't been at the races all evening and they have work to do to protect this lead.
75'
GOAL! Barcelona 2 Dynamo Kiev 1 (Viktor Tsyankov): Game on! Ter Stegen spills Verbic's shot from the left of the box and Tsygankov is waiting to finish from the scraps!

Ter Stegen save! Dynamo aren't prepared to throw in the towel just yet! A simple ball over the top catch Barca's defence cold once more as Tsygankov rushes through but again he can't beat the goalkeeper!
65'
GOAL! Barcelona 2 (Gerard Pique) Dynamo Kiev 0 - That will settle the nerves! Pique stays forward after the corner and he's left unmarked to glance home Fati's cross!
64'
Great save! This is a night Neshcheret won't forget in a hurry! Sergi Roberto makes a late run to the far post but his stooped header is pushed behind by the young Dynamo goalkeeper!
60'
Double Barca sub: Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembele replace Pjanic and Griezmann.
57'
Great save! Teenager Neshcheret is having a fine game in goal for Dynamo! Messi lifts his free-kick over the wall, it looks destined for the top corner but the 18-year-old is at full stretch to push it behind!
56'
Free-kick! Buyalskiy commits a foul on Busquets and Barca have a chance to double their lead with a free-kick 25 yards out in a central area. Messi is over it...
53'
Ter Stegen to the rescue, again! Barca are carved open all too easily and Dynamo should score! The defence is all at sea as Supryaha races through on goal. Ter Stegen races off his line to narrow the angle and makes the save!
51'
I bet Ter Stegen didn't anticipate such a busy return to action! Barca have been so poor. On this evidence, they won't go far in this competition.
