Ronald Koeman fielded the youngest Barcelona XI in the Champions League for nine years.
Koeman, having chosen to rest Lionel Messi for the night, oversaw Barca's impressive victory at Dynamo Kiev.

On that occasion, the line-up consisted of: Pinto; Montoya, Bartra, Fontàs, Maxwell; Jonathan Dos Santos, Thiago, Sergi Roberto; Cuenca, Rafinha and Pedro.
Meanwhile, the XI of Koeman had an average age of 24 years and 206 days.
The team was: Ter Stegen; Dest, Mingueza, Lenglet, Junior; Pjanic, Aleñá; Trincao, Coutinho, Pedri and Braithwaite.
