Modrić with amazing performance as Croatia destroying Czech Republic. Crazy assist by Modrić for the 5th goal

Yeah they changed the name back to Dinamo. It was always Dinamo but switched to Croatia due to political motivations in 90s. However Dinamo Zagreb is the main source of producing such amazing players from Croatian national team as they built one of the best academies. I wish NUFC would collaborate with them in the future.

Kind of right, we haven't produced top class bar Gvardiol but there are many upcoming potentials like Majer (just transferred to Bundesliga Wolfsburg) Ivanusec (just got to Feyenoord, Dutch champion), Sučić (RB Salzburg), Šutalo (just transferred to Ajax and promoted to captain) etc. but we will see if they can get to top top clubs. The problem is for midfielders is how to get into midfield of Modric-Kovacic-Brozovic. It's tough to get in.

Unbelievable ugly scenes from Dinamo Zagreb hooligans in Athens. Embarrassing and disappointing. UEFA should kick them out of the competition

Literally this. It's really remarkable story from Joselu

You're welcome to come to Zagreb any time

I think it should be regardless of that

Following Dinamo Zagreb! It would be a dream come true to get to CL and get paired with Newcastle

Really proud of Croatian performance

Wish they played CL anthem at SJP. Incredible scenes at Lens

The Champions League 2023/2024 will be at Saint James' Park! Incredible achievement by the whole team to qualify after insanely long two decades.

@LFEE flight booked. Landing at Newcastle on 1st April in afternoon hours. Looking forward seeing you guys and playing this game on 2nd April

For me both dates are okay since I'm flexible with dates for flying to Newcastle. If possible, would like to have this match on different day from Newcastle game EDIT: Actually, seeing that NUFC game is on Sunday 4:30 pm, then Sunday is also good for our game.

Of course Man City win. Don't see any sense in any draws or catching City. Really we shouldn't be bothered with catching City as long as we are in top 4 which is now an amazing opportunity for an incredible achievement. There will be time to push for bigger things in years to come
