Dinamo Zagreb
Dinamo Zagreb makes a return in Champions League, after 12 years of absence. The team had a tough luck to face Real Madrid in the opening game of this year’s edition of the tournament. Despite the fact that Dinamo have never faced Real, they do have some experience with Spanish teams from Madrid. Met twice Atletico Madrid in 1965-66 and 1997-98, overall record of 3 losses and a draw. Most recent loss from a Spanish team was from Villarreal with 0:2 in last year’s edition of Europa League. In the Croatian Premier League, the team does extremely well, holding the first spot with 19 points in 7 games, record of 6 victories and 1 draw.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid started Primera Division perfectly and is already 2 points ahead of Barcelona, after their recent failure against Real Sociedad a 2:2 draw. The team scored a total of 10 goals in 2 games and conceded only 2. Despite losing the Spanish Super Cup, a month ago, Mourinho is determined to reach the final of Champions League and get the title in La Liga. In last year’s edition of the tournament, Real Madrid recorded 2 victories and a draw away from home. The team reached the semi-finals where they faced Barcelona, losing the first game 0:2 and finishing 1:1 in the second. Real has faced only once a Croatian team (HNK Rijeka), losing the first match away from home with 1:3, but making up for it with 3:0 on Bernabeu.
