Yeah, this match is an important match not only for Zagreb but also for Atalanta and Shaktar Donetsk. but if indeed Guardiola downplayed the main players of Man City and it would be a difficult match to Zagreb. and if that happens I'm sure Atalanta will qualify for the next round
It turned out as you expected. There were no surprises: Dinamo Zagreb lost 1-4 to Manchester city. Atalanta on the road won a deserved victory, and with it the opportunity to play in 1/8 of the Champions League.
Dinamo missed their chance to pass the group in the match against Shakhtar in Zagreb, when they received two strange goals in extra time.
It seems to me that they have not recovered after this shock and the last 2 games they have played really bad.
Yeah, those 2 late goals against Shakhtar in Zagreb changed everything for Dinamo, they were not the same team after that, they simply fell apart. Too bad, this was great opportunity that won't come soon, as i expect that both Olmo and Livakovic leave Dinamo this summber, and maybe even Petkovic.
Watching Olympiacos vs Crvena Zvezda at the moment, Zvezda is lucky that is still 0:0, it won't be easy to keep that result till the end as Olympiacos is completely dominating them, as expected.
Very interesting group after all.
Atalanta lost first 3 matches and I didn't expect they have chance to pass but they are second on the end.
Dinamo was very good in the first a few matches in the group but was very bad in last 2 matches and lost everything.
They had very big chance to make historical result this year but this extra time with Shakhtar in Zagreb changed everything.
I agree with you, Olmo, Livakovic, probably Orsic and Petkovic will leave Dinamo this season and I don't think they can replace them so easy.
Atalanta will be the most desired choice for all clubs in the CL now.
