Dinamo Zagreb won three of the last five matches in all tournaments. However, the club did not return to the game pace in the best possible way after the international matches. Dinamo lost points for the first time in eight league matches, having played a draw with Šibenik (1-1). Interestingly, the Blues have conceded in only three of the last ten meetings. The last results of Dinamo are first of all remembered by the comeback, which the team arranged in the confrontation against Tottenham. After a 2-0 away defeat, the Croats managed to knock the Spurs out of the Europa League, winning 3-0 in extra time of the return match.
