DINAMO ZAGREB v AC MILAN: FUN FACTS

The Rossoneri's final away match during the Champions League group stage is a very important one. At the Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb, Stefano Pioli's men are looking for three points against Dinamo to ensure that their destiny remains in their own hands. As the matchday five showdown draws nearer, here are the most interesting facts and stats that you need to know:

PERFECT RECORD
AC Milan have won all five of their previous meetings with Dinamo Zagreb in Europe, including qualifying matches. The Rossoneri represent a real bogey team for the Croatians, who have never suffered more European defeats against any other side. Dinamo are the team AC Milan have played the most matches against in Europe while maintaining a 100% record.

STADION MAKSIMIR
The Rossoneri are set to take to the pitch at the Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb for the third time in their history. AC Milan have recorded two wins there so far, first a 3-1 success in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1973 and then a 3-0 return leg victory in Champions League qualifying in 2000. However, the Diavolo will have a tough job on their hands tomorrow: Dinamo have lost just one of their last five home matches in the Champions League (against Manchester City in 2019).

GETTING BACK TO SCORING
After scoring four goals in their first two group matches, the Rossoneri failed to find the net in their next two fixtures against Chelsea. It'll therefore be important to return to scoring ways. AC Milan last went three consecutive Champions League games without netting in 2011.

OLI ON THE ROAD
Olivier Giroud, who scored in the reverse fixture, has bagged 19 career goals in the Champions League, with 14 of these having come on the road (74%). In the competition's history, out of all the players who have found the net at least 15 times, only Timo Werner has a higher percentage in this regard.

RAFA'S DRIBBLING
In Zagreb, Rafael Leão will be aiming to score his first Champions League goal of the campaign. Nevertheless, the Portuguese man has already found a way to make an impact in this season's competition: during the first four matchdays, only Vinícius Júnior has completed more dribbles than Rafa, who has twelve to his name.
