Some Barcelona fans were left disappointed with long-serving left-back Jordi Alba after the star’s lax defending led to them conceding against Dynamo Kyiv this evening.
The blunder that came in the 74th minute didn’t turn out to be costly as the Blaugrana won 2-1, but it was concerning nonetheless.
The tie in general was far too close for comfort, especially considering that Dynamo Kyiv were fielding a seriously weakened team due to Covid-19 hitting a large portion of the squad.
A low cross was drilled into the box, with Clement Lenglet unable to deal with it as his man pipped in front, Marc-Andre ter Stegen was on hand to save the effort though.
However, his heroics in that moment were cancelled out as Jordi Alba failed to keep track of the run of Viktor Tsyhankov, leaving the attacker free to hammer the rebound into the back of the net.
