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.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Man City have put up a strategy that will see them earn hugely from Lionel Messi if the Argentine star joins the Etihad outfit next summer, Daily Mail.
Attempts to land the 33-year-old when he officially submitted his transfer request back in the summer proved abortive.
But being the favourites to land the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, there are plans lined-up by City Football Group (CFG) to discuss an association with Messi for the next ten years.
