Bărboianu had two terms at Dinamo. The first one was a short one, for only four months, from February until May 2011. He was released after an own-goal in the 2011 Cupa României Final, that sent the trophy to Dinamo's biggest rivals, Steaua București.[http://www.ziuaveche.ro/sport-auto/sport/steaua-a-castigat-cupa-romaniei-si-va-juca-direct-in-play-off-ul-ligii-europa-35545.html/ Steaua a câştigat Cupa României şi va juca direct în play-off-ul Ligii Europa] In December 2013, Bărboianu returned to Dinamo and played until May 2015, when in a match again versus Steaua, he conceded a penalty which led to the first goal of the game, won by Steaua 3–1. Two days after the game, his contract with Dinamo was ended by mutual agreement.[http://www.prosport.ro/fotbal-intern/liga-1/exclusiv-barboianu-dat-afara-de-la-dinamo-la-doua-zile-dupa-derby-e-suspectat-ca-a-trantit-meciul-cu-steaua-reactia-lui-dinu-gheorghe-14210752 Bărboianu, dat afară de la Dinamo la două zile după derby]
