Both of these teams were yet to score in the UCL this season going into match-day 3

Barcelona picked up a crucial win as stalwart Gerard Pique became the club's oldest-ever goal scorer in the UEFA Champions League.

Jordi Alba had a string of brilliant crosses into the box throughout the first half and eventually Gerard Pique volleyed home one to score the Blaugrana's first goal not long before half time. 

Barcelona's frontman Luuk De Jong missed yet another header just before the break and failed to doubled their lead.

Dynamo's goalkeeper Heorhiy Bushchan was on the receiving end of a terrible back-pass, the resulting pass into the path of Ansu Fati nearly produced a superb flick goal with his back turned to goal.

With a quarter of an hour to go, Philipe Coutinho attempted a curling effort from 25 yards out from goal; but missed the target.
