🏆👉  It’s disappointing news for Milan fans! AC Milan fell short in their UEFA Champions League Matchday 8 game against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, losing 2-1 at the Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb, Croatia.  Despite Christian Pulisic finding the net, it wasn’t enough to clinch a win. As a result, Milan will now head into the knockout phase play-offs. The draw on January 31 could bring some crucial matchups, with a Juve-Milan derby potentially on the horizon for the Italian clubs.

Dinamo Zagreb opened the scoring in the 19th minute when Martin Baturina found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. Gabbia made a mistake in setup, failing to control the ball properly, which allowed Baturina to seize the opportunity and outmaneuver Maignan.

Chaos for Milan!

🔴⚫️ Milan found their rhythm in the 53rd minute when “Captain America,” Christian Pulisic, scored to make it 1-1. He delivered a well-placed right-footed shot into the bottom right corner, assisted by Fikayo Tomori.

Dinamo took the lead again in the 60th minute.

Stats before the game

Dinamo Zagreb has faced Milan six times in the past. Unfortunately, they’ve come up short every time.  The most recent defeat being a 4-0 loss at home during the 2022/23 Champions League group stage. On the other hand, Milan has enjoyed a perfect record against Dinamo Zagreb. Their longest winning streak against any team in European competitions.

The Rossoneri have consistently found the back of the net.  Milan scored at least three goals in each of their three away matches against the Croatian club. Additionally, Dinamo Zagreb hasn’t won any of their last five home games in the Champions League. They have recorded three draws and two losses. The only time they had a longer winless streak at home in this competition was between October 1999 and December 2012, when they went seven matches without a victory.

Following their victories against Real Madrid (3-1) and Slovan Bratislava (3-2), Milan is on the verge of achieving three consecutive away wins in the Champions League for the first time since the period of September to December 2000, when Alberto Zaccheroni was the coach.

In their last two Champions League campaigns, Milan has secured wins in their final group or league matches (4-0 against Salzburg in 2022/23 and 2-1 against Newcastle in 2023/24). This is a feat they hadn’t accomplished in their previous six attempts (with three draws and three losses) dating back to the 2009/10 season.

Player Stats

Christian Pulisic has made a significant impact in his last six Champions League matches for AC Milan.  Pulisic has contributed to five goals with four goals and one assist. If he manages to be involved in another goal, he will break the season record for the most contributions in a single campaign. Currently it stands at four (three goals and one assist).

 Sandro Kulenovic has netted three goals for Dinamo Zagreb in this Champions League season, with only one player having scored more in a single tournament for the Croatian side: Mislav Orsic, who found the net four times in the 2019/20 season.

Rafael Leão has made 26 successful dribbles in this Champions League. He is tying with Morgan Rogers for the most in the current tournament. Additionally, the Portuguese forward has also scored three goals in the 24/25 competition, matching his total from the 2021/22, 2022/23, and 2023/24 seasons combined.

AC Milan has touched down in Zagreb and is now at Maksimir Stadium. They are set to compete in their final Champions League group stage match on Wednesday, January 29, at 21:00 CET. Ahead of the game, Coach Conceição and player Christian Pulisic shared their thoughts during a press conference on Tuesday, January 28. Here’s a recap of their comments.

SÉRGIO CONCEIÇÃO ahead of Dinamo Zagreb vs AC Milan 

“We have prepared ourselves in a short time, as we were preparing to play a series of decisive matches, but I expect the team to give a positive performance and win. It will be an important and difficult match. We want to end the first phase of this competition in the best possible way: getting into the top eight in the Champions League is our goal now, after winning the Supercoppa Italiana. In the Champions League, in the long term, we aim to finish in the top four. They still have playoff hopes, so they will have great motivation in facing us. My choices will only be affected by Dinamo, not by the Derby.”

CONCEIÇÃO: “ I expect the team to give a positive performance and win“

THE TEAM

“We don’t need any particular shock; the shock comes from working and playing matches like this. I’d like to improve some aspects of our game: the management of certain phases of ball possession, the reaction when we lose the ball. These are the details, we need time and unfortunately we have very little of it. I see positive and negative things, we have never given up and, although I would prefer to win in a more comfortable way and not always in a comeback, I am appreciating the positive attitude. I see a very good group of people, I’ve changed a lot of things since I arrived but the guys have respected and followed my decisions.”

 Christian Pulisic 

“So far we have done well in the Champions League, and we have a great opportunity to finish in the top eight. Recently, the team has shown a good spirit; we try to give our best in every game, also in the league. With Conceição, we have improved our attitude: we believe in ourselves all the way.”
