'It's a perfect day' - USMNT star Dest delighted to open Barcelona account in Champions League win at Kiev

Barcelona defender Sergino Dest was delighted to score his first goal for the club after he netted the opener in a 4-0 win at Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday.

The Champions League match entered the break scoreless, but the right-back's 52nd-minute strike opened the floodgates in Ukraine.

Martin Braithwaite would add a brace after Dest's goal before Antoine Griezmann wrapped up a comfortable win that saw the Catalans advance to the last 16.
