Dinamo Zagreb has learned its match schedule for the 2024/2025 UEFA Champions League.
Dinamo drew Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, AC Milan, Celtic, Salzburg, Monaco and S. Bratislava.
Under the new format, each of the 36 clubs plays eight matches in four home games and four away games.
The top eight teams in the league will move directly to the knockout stages, while teams finishing between ninth and 24th place will compete in a two-legged play-off for a spot in the last 16.
Here is Dinamo’s schedule:
• 17 September 2024, 21:00 – FC Bayern Munich (A)
• 2 October 2024, 21:00 – AS Monaco (H)
• 23 October 2024, 21:00 – FC Salzburg (A)
• 5 November 2024, 18:45 – SK Slovan Bratislava (A)

• 21 January 2025, 21:00 – Arsenal FC (A)
• 29 January 2025, 21:00 – AC Milan (H)
Clubs ranked twenty-fifth to thirty-sixth are eliminated from Europe, meaning they do not continue in the Europa League.
The first round of the Champions League will be played from Tuesday to Thursday, with the remaining seven rounds, as usual, taking place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
The knockout phase begins on 11 February, and the final will be held on 31 May at the Allianz Arena.
Jakirović Satisfied with the Draw
“I am satisfied with the draw because this is the Champions League. We will battle with everyone to see where we stand at that level, and there are teams against whom I believe we can compete and it will be 50-50. Let’s see how many points we can take,” the Dinamo manager said after the draw.
