Dinamo Zagreb are the reigning Croatian champions, having won the national league with a total of 93 goals scored during the season. The Croatian team is traditionally one of the forces in Balkan football and automatically secured their place in European competitions through the domestic title.
The team ultimately fell in the Champions League qualifying playoff, being eliminated by Viking. This defeat meant that Dinamo Zagreb failed to secure a place in the Champions League group stage, the main UEFA club competition.
As a result of the playoff elimination, Dinamo Zagreb were transferred to the Europa League, the second most important European competition. The Croatian team will thus try to make a dignified campaign in this competition, which is less competitive than the Champions League.
The article thus presents the current situation of Dinamo Zagreb, who despite being champions in their country and having a prolific attack with 93 goals, failed to overcome the decisive tie that would have given them access to the European elite.
