"These three points were the most important thing," Gerard Pique, the Barcelona central defender, said as he reacted to their win over Kiev.
"After the first two group games, with no points and no goals, this victory was so important to give ourselves a chance to be in the mix until the end of the group stage.
"I think we did well, although we need to do better. Dynamo didn't get a single effort on target, but that's because they were very defensive – that was difficult for us."
The last time Kiev hosted Barcelona in a Champions League match was on 24 November 2020.
Barcelona emerged 4-0 winners over Kiev in a Group G match which was played at the NSK Olimpijs'ky.
