| Holders Barcelona made it four points from two games in their
Champions League group after confidently seeing off Dynamo Kiev
at the Nou Camp.
Lionel Messi put the Catalan giants on their way with the opening
goal in the 26th minute before half-time substitute Pedro Rodriguez
sealed a fairly comfortable victory with Barca's second 14 minutes
from time.
Pep Guardiola's side, who drew 0-0 with Inter Milan in their opening
match, now take over the Group F leadership from Dynamo, who beat
Rubin Kazan 3-1 first time out but were outclassed tonight.
Barca led 1-0 at the break, but they should have been out of sight
by that point after creating a series of chances that saw Dynamo
goalkeeper Olexandr Shovkovskiy working over time.
Dynamo gave as good as they got in the opening stages but Barca
soon started to dominate possession and territory and they made
the breakthrough in the 25th minute.
Ibrahimovic was the outstanding player of the first half, but it
was Messi who put Barca ahead as he picked up a good pass from Xavi,
cut inside Leandro Almeida before rifling a low shot past Shovkovskiy.
