UEFA Champions league: Messi "less" Barcelona to face Dynamo Kyiv

 Barcelona can cement their place in the last 16 of the Champions with a victory away at Dynamo Kyiv


Barcelona in Group H will face Dyanmo Kyiv away in the Round 4 of the 6 matches in the UEFA Champions league without their Captain Lionel Messi and G.Pique who was injured in the match against Atletico Madrid in the La Liga.
Coming into the game Barcelona will be looking vulnerable without their talisman and the presence and command of Pique in the defence will surely be missed, S.Roberto is another defender who walked off injured previous game against Atleti thus leaving Ronald Koeman short handed while picking up the squad for the game.
Dynamo Kyiv who are currently 3rd in the Europa league spot will look to have advantage of the home support in the form of fans which will be a limited capacity thus creating an atmosphere for the game, last time the two teams met it was a narrow defeat for Kyiv as they fell to a defeat away at Camp Nou by 2-1 a victory at the night could spark up hopes for the qualification in next round and the precious 3 points in the bag.
Without the presence of Lionel Messi the lights will be on A.Griezmann who was in the news lately because of the comments made by his former agent and Uncle claiming Messi is the Epicentre of problems at Barca to which there were rumours Messi and Griezmann don't get along well, but the rumours were put to a halt when Griezmann spoke to Jorge Valdano and said "There is always something bad. If it's not a supposed problem with Leo (Messi), then it's people saying that I want to leave or that I will be sold in January. I hope that after this interview they calm down a little with me." 
"I told Leo that I would talk in order to calm things down a little, even though I don't like doing it. I need a little help from everybody: The fans, the club and my teammates. I need people to be a little more gentle with me, and for journalists not to take so many shots at me. I need them to leave me in peace. I have the trust of the coach and the dressing room, and I'm happy." via FC Barcelona.
 He also said that we have a talented team enough to win titles, the Ronald Koeman transformation and transition looks stalled and Far Fetched concept at the moment and his side will be really put to the test in the Champions league and it would not be exaggerating the fact that Koeman is walking on thin ice at Barcelona and with the current results and Presidential elections at Barca anything could be possible.
