Here's who Dinamo could play with if they get into the Champions League

The Croatian football club Dinamo Zagreb has qualified for the Champions League knockout stage by defeating Thun in the third qualifying round. They now face Zalgiris Kaunas, the Lithuanian champions, coached by Croatian manager Željko Sopić. To advance to the group stage of the Champions League, Dinamo must defeat both Zalgiris and another opponent in the playoff rounds. If they fail to qualify for the Champions League, they will compete in either the Europa League or the Conference League this autumn. According to projections by Football Meets Data, if all current holders advanced further, Dinamo would end up in the fourth pot for the group stage. Under the new format of the Champions League, teams will play eight matches in the league phase rather than six, facing two opponents from each pot.

Sopić is still waiting for his first coaching victory against Dinamo.

Željko Sopić, trenuter litavske ekipe Žalgiris Kaunas, još uvijek nema pobjedu protiv Dinama u svojoj trenerskoj karijeri. Dosad je sudjelovao u 11 mečeva protiv Dinama, ostvarivši pet remija i šest poraza. Sopić je bio trenuter Dinamove rezervne momčadi i privremeno je vodio prvu momčad 2016./17. godine. Trenutno trenira Goricu, Rijeku i Osijek, ali nije uspijevao pobediti Dinam. Njegova filozofija uključuje napadajući nogomet i traženje pobjede, iako su Dinamovi često bili kvalitetniji suparnici. Najbolji rezultat Sopićeve momčadi protiv Dinama bio je 1:2 na Rujevici 2024., gdje su Rijecani imali dominantnu igru, ali su ipak izgubili.

Sopić has prepared a surprise for Dinamo: at the last minute he signed two players who know the Blues well

Željko Sopić, trener Dinamo Zagreb, u posljednjem trenutku donio je iznenađujući potez prijavljujući dva novog igrača, Anthonyja Kalika i Gabriela Debeljuha, za večerašnju utakmicu protiv Kauno Žalgirisa. Oba su stigla u Kaunas neposredno prije susreta, a Sopić je pronašao način da ih uvrsti na popis uz poštovanje UEFA pravila o domaćim i klupskim igračima. Litavski veznjak Tautvydas Burdzilauskas i slovenski napadac Haris Kadrič izasli sa popisa. Sopić nije bio siguran koji će biti na popisu, ali konačno je odlučio za dvojicu novih igrača koji dobro poznaju Dinamo. Debeljuh je prethodno bio u dresu Cluja, dok je Kalik dobio pozornost zbog svoje prošlosti u SHNL-u.

Sopić at the last minute got reinforcements for Dinamo:

The article reports that coach Željko Sopić has secured last-minute reinforcements for Dinamo Zagreb, with Anthony Kalik and Gabriel Debeljuh set to play at Maksimir Stadium. Both players joined the team shortly before their arrival in Zagreb, but registration complications due to UEFA rules created uncertainty. Sopić managed to include them in the matchday squad, leading to the exclusion of Lithuanian player Tautvydas Burdzilauskas and Slovenian Haris Kadrič. Debeljuh previously played against Dinamo while with Oțelul and Cluj, and Kalik is familiar to Croatian fans through his time with Hajduk Split. The decision on whether to deploy them immediately or save them for the return leg in Lithuania remains with Sopić.
