The vice-champions of Ukraine again failed to compete with the traditionally inconvenient opponent.

In the current tournament, rivals solve various tasks. Juventus is fighting with Barcelona for the first place, Dynamo with Ferencvaros for the third. In addition, the white and blues have never beaten the Turin in European Cups. They failed to do so today. The highlight of the match at the Juventus Stadium was the person of the referee. For the first time in the history of the Champions League, the game was played by a female referee - Frenchwoman Stephanie Frappar.

With the transition from defense to attack in the white and blue under high pressure, which was applied by "Juventus" in the opening minutes, there were difficulties. It was rare for Kyivans to reach the penalty area in the absence of Buyalsky, who was eliminated by the end of the year due to injury. As for Juve's attacks, the biggest danger came at the beginning of the match from the second floor. Morata and McKenney headed dangerously after the corners, and only Bushchan's reaction saved the visitors. But Dynamo's goalkeeper failed to cope with Chieza's shot, which broke away from Mykolenko and responded to Alex Sandro's canopy. 1: 0.

Before the break, Cristiano Ronaldo was close to increasing the score, but hit the crossbar. But in general, Kyiv after the missed ball began to spend much more time in the opponent's half of the field, organizing positional attacks. And shortly before the break, Lucescu's charges created a scoring opportunity: Tsygankov, after Verbych's discount, shot at the goal from close range, but hit Szczesny.

The beginning of the second half in the performance of Dynamo turned out to be optimistic. They controlled the ball well in the other half of the field and did not let Szczesny get bored. But the "Old Lady" scored again. After Chiesa's shot, Morata fought with Bushchan and struck a final blow to Cristiano Ronaldo. Soon Morata himself scored from the pass of the same Chiesa, who in the center of the penalty area was allowed to take the ball, process it and send it to the bottom corner. 3: 0.

Despite the defeat, Dynamo remained in third place in the group thanks to the victory of "Barcelona" over "Ferencvaros". Now in the last round in Kyiv they will play with Serhiy Rebrov's team in the third place, which gives a pass to the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. The Ukrainian team will be satisfied with a victory or a draw with a score of 0: 0, 1: 1 or 2: 2.
