Sergino Dest, Martin Braithwaite’s brace and Antoine Griezmann’s goal ensured Barca continued their perfect run in the competition.
Lionel Mess and Frenkie de Jong were rested for the fixture as six new players were brought into the starting XI against the Ukrainian side.
Ronald Koeman’s men had a shaky start into the match as Dynamocreated a couple of decent chances but were wasteful in front of goal.
But right at the start of the second period, La Blaugrana started the game on a bright note as Dest made it 1-0 courtesy of an assist from Braithwaite in the 52nd minute.
The lead was doubled five minutes later as Oscar Mingueza flicked on a header from corner kick for Braitwaith to steer in at the near post. 2-0 it was to Barca.
Braithwaite won a penalty in the 69th minute and converted the resulting spot-kick to complete his brace and make it 3-0.
Substitute Griezmann sealed it for Barcelona in the second minute of the 90 as the Frenchman’s shot found the roof of the net from a Jordi Alba’s assist.
La Blaugrana continued their dominance in Group G as Juventus narrowly defeated Hungarian side Ferenvaros by 2-1.
