Supporters of Dinamo Zagreb should be excited ahead of new season as they look to build on their previous campaign in which they claimed the scalp of Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling Europa League Round of 16 double-header. They are two rounds away from the promised land – the Champions League group stage. But rather than focusing on that – their only desire is to scour the streets of their town for visiting fans and beat them up.Legia Warsaw are the champions of Poland. Their ultras are famous around the continent as tough guys but also politically active fans who aren’t afraid to speak their minds about injustices in European football, the ever-widening gap between the rich and the rest. But they also love to get physical. When Dinamo and Legia were drawn together in the Champions League Third qualifying round, there must have been quite a few safety officers who started to sweat.BBB atack Legia in Zagreb tonight. 03.08.2021 pic.twitter.com/jRhRZZdTA1— HooligansTV (@HooligansTV_eu) August 3, 2021 As the two teams gear up for tonight’s first leg in Zagreb, their ultras group, the Bad Blue Boys scoured the streets of their town for any visiting fans.

The Polish giants eased past FC Flora last week and will want a similar result from this match. Dinamo, meanwhile, also managed two comfortable games against Omonia Nicosia in the previous round but will have to step up in this game. The Croatian outfit does have a few problems to solve and will need to be at its best this week.Champions League is back, the fans in the stadiums are back – and, sadly, so is the violence.CHAMPIONS LEAGUEThird qualifying round – first legTuesdaySparta Prague – Monaco 0-2 (0-1)/Tchouameni 37, Volland 59/Malmo – Rangers 2-1 (0-0)/Rieks 47, Birmancevic 49 – Davis 90/Genk – Shakhtar Donetsk 1-2 (1-0)/Onuachu 39 – Tete 63 pen, Patrick 81/PSV Eindhoven – Midtjylland 3-0 (3-0)/Madueke 19, Gotze 29, Gakpo 32/CFR Cluj – Young Boys 1-1 (1-0)/Manea 4 – Sierro 90/Crvena zvezda – Sheriff 1-1 (1-1)/Diony 45 – Castaneda 33/Olympiacos – Ludogorets 1-1 (0-0)/Camara 87 – Despodov 50/Wednesday20.00: (3.05) Spartak Moscow (3.25) Benfica (2.40)21.00: (2.95) Ferencvaros (3.20) Slavia Praha (2.50)21.00: (1.80) Dinamo Zagreb (3.40) Legia (4.90)*odds are subject to change
