FC Barcelona going through a tough time in LaLiga and Champions League
FC Barcelona is going through a delicate moment in the competitions they have been participating in, such as LaLiga Santander and the Champions League. Last weekend, they suffered a bitter draw at Camp Nou against Alaves, with a 1-1 result in the twelfth matchday of the Spanish league. The result was not the best in Sergi Barjuan's debut as the new coach, and the culés are currently in ninth position with 16 points.
In addition, in the match against Alaves, Barcelona lost two important players: Gerard Piqué, who was replaced by Clément Lenglet in the 70th minute due to a calf injury. Also, Sergio Agüero did not complete the match and remains in the hospital after being diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia.
The team led by Sergi Barjuan will face Dinamo on Tuesday, November 2, in Kiev, under pressure to win against the Russian team to improve their position in Group E, where they are currently third with only three points.

Barcelona will not be able to count on Piqué and 'Kun' for this match; however, they have recovered four key players to travel to the Olympic Stadium in Kiev. The FC Barcelona squad list includes 23 players, four of whom are returning to the team: Ronald Araujo, Ansu Fati, Frenkie De Jong, and Ousmane Dembélé.
Out of the returning players, the presence of Dembélé stands out the most, as he could make his debut with the Barcelona team in the 2021-2022 season after recovering from a knee injury he suffered with the national team in the previous Eurocup. Dembélé would be a key piece in Sergi Barjuan's strategy against Dinamo.
