Dynamo legendary win among Champions League 25 top games

It’s great to see that FC Dynamo Kyiv win against FC Barcelona in 1997 is among them (20th in rankings) with following description:

In 1986, a nine-year-old child had to be evacuated from his home in Kyiv’s suburbs after the Chernobyl nuclear reactor 80 miles north exploded, spewing a radioactive cloud into the atmosphere.

Eleven years later, Andriy Shevchenko was scoring a hat-trick against a Barça side that featured Rivaldo and Luis Figo. “In Kyiv, we had beaten Barcelona 3-0 and a friend said, ‘Let’s see how you do in the return’,” Sheva later laughed. “He bet me that I wouldn’t score three goals. He ended up buying dinner.”

Kyiv reached the semi-finals the following season before Shevchenko moved on to Milan.
