Formed in 1911, Dinamo Zagreb have put down roots at the Stadion Maksimir based in Croatia. With a history longer than a forgotten game of string, the team celebrates its matches with a charming blend of seasoned experience and youthful zeal.
The salt and pepper line-up, with an average age of 27, comprises a modest cluster of 14 players. Now, while the number might not be overwhelming, the enthusiasm that each of these fine lads brings to the field is nothing short of inspiring, proving irrevocably that quality indeed trumps quantity.
According to Transfermarkt, this spirited troupe has an approximate market value of £48m. A sum, dare I say, that speaks volumes about the formidable force that is Dinamo Zagreb.
This season, the team has made waves in not one, but two competitions. Taking up the mantle in the HNL, the club savoured the taste of victory from the loftiest position - the very first place. The Europa League also witnessed the indomitable spirit of the team, where they played through to Knockout Play-offs - a testament, again, to their tenacity. With such performances, one mightn't be blamed for wondering if the club's motto is 'Go hard or go home'.
