UEFA Champions League: Dinamo Zagreb aim for an unlikely win against Man City

Dinamo Zagreb have transformed themselves into a formidable outfit under coach Nenad Bjelica. They registered a 4-0 win against Atalanta FC in their opening UCL tie this season. However, Dinamo have never won away from home against English opponents in European competition. The Croatian giants are winless in their last 15 UEFA Champions League games (D2 L13). Bjelica will hope his underdog team can pull off an epic win at the Etihad in the UEFA Champions League.
