Preamble
It’s a big night for one team at the Stadion Maksimir, although fortunately that isn’t Manchester City.Pep Guardiola’s men have already assured their place in the knockout stages of theChampions League after three wins and two draws so far in the group stage, meaning they are in the hat as group winners no Matter happens tonight against Dinamo Zagreb.
The Croatians are vey much still in with a shout of making it through, which would be some achievement.Nenad Bjelica’s side are currently third, one point behind Shakhtar Donetsk, and will require victory to stand a chance. The Ukrainians are playing Atalanta at home, who also have an outside chance of qualifying so it really is set up for a fascinating evening.
City are likely to give a run out to a few of their fringe players so expect to see Phil Foden picked in midfield, although goodness knows who Pep might select in defense. Zagreb are no soft touch having already thrashed Atalanta 4-0 at home and drawn both matches against Shakhtar and will be cheered on by a packed stadium as they attempt to make history.
The Croatian champions have never qualified from the group stages of the Champions League before and have a prolific striker in the form of Mislav Orsic. The – year-old has 16 goals this season and has recently earned a call up to the Croatian national team so may cause City a few headaches tonight . Should be interesting …
