Barca manager Ronald Koeman has left out superstar footballer Lionel Messi out of his team that will face Dynamo Kiev in the champions league on tuesday.

The attacker who has struggled for form has scored only a single goal from open play this season with five coming from the penalty spot which is very uncharacteristically of him.

Also left out of the team is dutch midfielder Frankie Dejong who also has not been at his best. Barcelona are struggling with injury issues in the squad with Gerald Pique out for a long time with a knee injury, fellow defender Samuel Umtiti is also out with an injury.

Barcelona are currently unbeaten in a group that has Juventus and would want to round up their qualification to the next round.
