The wind was howling and the snow was blowing.

The first heavy snow in Croatia hit at the tail end of November.

On November 24, heavy snow fell throughout Croatia.

Fluffy snowflakes fall from the sky and blow around with the wind.

In cold weather, snowflakes melt on your face, and the cold touch robs you of the body's temperature.

But compared to the brutal environment, the score in front of them made the Roma players even more desperate.

The fifth round of the 2004/2005 Champions League group stage.

Full time 31 minutes, Dinamo Zagreb 2:0 Roma.

Roma have collapsed in this Champions League.

Not only was the first four rounds defeated, but De Rossi was sent off with a red card in the previous round against Real Madrid.

Mexes had just returned, and they had lost De Rossi again.

But that's not the point.

As the spiritual leader of Rome, their wolf king Totti also suffered the death of his mother, and the grief-stricken Totti missed the game.

With the loss of two generals in succession and heavy snowfall, the Roma players were not used to such a cruel game environment.

One setback after another, morale was already low, and there was such a cruel environment.

What a chain defense!

All the confidence of victory was forgotten by them.

The whole of Rome became a mess.

Even when defending, it is full of holes.

They were defenseless when faced with a ball that had glided for several meters after falling.

But the players of Dinamo Salegbo seem to know where the ball is going to land, and they are very accurate in judging where it will land and their sense of the environment.

This is also a further blow to Rome!

Two goals conceded are proof of that!

Rome has completely collapsed!"

Even the Italian commentator shook his head weakly.

As the second seed in Serie A, they are the most optimistic about Roma in addition to AC Milan.

But I didn't expect it to collapse directly in the Champions League.

Rome seems to have run out of luck, one is worse than the other, and the situation is frequent.

First, there was a series of changes in coaching.

Then there is the disagreement of the generals.

In critical circumstances, Totti's mother died, and Rome lacked a soul leader.

With such a brutal away environment, it's no wonder that Roma's situation can be better.

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half.

The fans of Dinamo Zagreb are already boiling.

Despite the heavy snowfall!

Despite the howling wind, my face hurts.

But it still can't hide the fire in their hearts.

It's going to win!

Although it was only half time, Dinamo Zagreb performed brilliantly against a completely unmotivated Roma.

"Rome is not used to this kind of venue!"

Back in the locker room, Srna said excitedly.

In this kind of heavy snowfall, the landing point is judged to be a little earlier, and the ball will slide for a distance when it hits the ground.

I have to say, this snow is wonderful.

It wasn't so big as snow, and with tens of thousands of people on site, the ground was a little slippery, and the Roma players were very uncomfortable.

For the Dinamo Zagreb players, they have been very accustomed to this kind of environment every winter.

"In the second half, we still have to be vigilant." Suke wrapped in a blanket and said, "Win this game!" ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the Dinamo Zagreb players began to light up.

They have never been closer to qualifying for the Champions League finals.

As long as they win this game, they have a good chance of reaching the knockout stage.

That's the last 16 of the Champions League!

Reaching the finals in their first Champions League game was a further break in team history for them.

The hearts of substitutes such as Rakitic are also on fire.

They served!

Really convinced!

In the face of such an environment, it is not possible to accept it.

What an amazing feat these guys have accomplished.

Group B of the Champions League gathered in Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Roma.

They were stunned to kill a bloody road!

With a win on this one, Dinamo Zagreb will have a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League finals.

What a feat!

"In the second half, we must stabilize the situation and not attack rashly."

Besic's voice was also a little shaky.

When this moment approached, he was also extremely nervous.

Before the season, he didn't even dare to think about qualifying from the group.

Just getting to the Champions League is a great feat.

But these guys were stunned and went on a rampage in the group stage and played a very good game.

Even with him as a manager, it was stained.

Now Becić is also well-known in Europe.

For them, in the second half, just hold on.

Soon, the intermission ended.

Players from both sides return to the pitch.

"Pass it on! Pass it on! ”

"Steady! Steady! ”

Suker flicked a succession, shook off the opposition's pressing, and then connected with a right-footed cross to pass the ball to Modric.

A set of actions is smooth, very chic and natural.

The Roma players didn't put enough pressure on him, and Suker was happy to be at ease.

In this game, Suker has already scored a goal.

And now the purpose is to stabilize the situation, so Su Ke also retreated to join the ranks of the organization.

It was enough to have a Mandzukic up front.

Dinamo Zagreb is clearly stalling for time.

But Rome was demoralized at this time.

They have already lost four rounds and will not qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League even if they win both rounds.

Coupled with all kinds of things, they don't have much fighting spirit to speak of.

This season's Champions League is planted.

If Totti had been there, they might have had some fighting spirit, but now even Totti isn't there.

Dinamo Zagreb passed the ball again and again, and the time kept ticking.

The fans in the stadium have already begun to shout for victory.

With this win, Dinamo Zagreb will be able to maintain enough initiative.

"On this day of heavy snowfall, at the Stade Maximir we will once again be cheering for victory, the performance of this group of lads is fantastic!"

"I can't wait to see more of them."

Commentator Klausievich glanced at the time, and the game was 75 minutes.

'Dinamo Salegeb's substitutions, Besic for Strinic and Sildenfeld, these two players were very good off the bench and they could help Dinamo Zagreb continue to stabilize the situation, a very reasonable substitution.

With Dinamo Zagreb's substitutions, Roma have even less chance of winning.

Again and again, they hoisted the ball into the penalty area, but the box was full of Dinamo Zagreb players, and their centre-forward was buried by the crowd, and there was no chance to fight for the top.

Eventually, the game came to stoppage time.

Dinamo Zagreb is still fighting stubbornly.

Towards the end of three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle.

The game is over.

Dinamo Zagreb beat Roma 2-0.

Once again, they won.

In the five rounds of the group stage, Dinamo Zagreb still ranked first with three wins and two draws.

Champions League Group B points standings.

First: Dinamo Zagreb, 3-2-0, 11 points, 13 goals scored, 6 goals conceded.

Second: Bayer Leverkusen, 2-2-1, 8 points, 10 goals scored, 7 goals conceded.

Third: Real Madrid, 2-2-1, 8 points, goals scored 10, goals conceded 9.

Fourth: Roma, 0-0-5, 0 points, goals scored 2, goals conceded 13.

By the fifth round of the league, some Champions League groups had already decided their qualifying places.

But when I came to Group B, I was still anxious.

For Dinamo Zagreb, they still have a big hurdle on the road.

Bayer Leverkusen will have to beat Roma to have any hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds.

It's the same for Real Madrid, who have to grit their teeth and win.

In this way, there is hope that the points will be equalized.

Of course, for Bayer Leverkusen, if Real Madrid lose at home to Dinamo Sallegb, they can also qualify for second place in the group.

But Real Madrid is not the same idea.

As for their hopes of both qualifying, it is not for nothing.

If Real Madrid slaughter Dinamo Zagreb at home, the goal difference will be reduced.

At the same time, Bayer Leverkusen also slaughtered Roma, so they can also advance together.

It can be said that the Champions League group is still in disarray.

Until the last minute, it is really uncertain which aspect of the promotion will be.

It's just that, so far, as long as Dinamo Zagreb doesn't do anything stupid, they have the best chance of qualifying for the finals.

"Is this really our record?"

Dujmović stared at the standings in the newspaper, his whole face almost pasted.

Five rounds, three wins and two draws.

Even now it feels a little unrealistic.

"Don't look at it." Srna grabbed the gamepad in his hand and turned his head; 'The next game is Real Madrid, we're going to the Bernabeu, so it's a bit nervous.

"And what are you doing?" Dujmović pointed to the game machine.

Srna: "I'm looking for confidence in the game!" ”

With that, he turned his head and began to struggle to control the gamepad.

However, the score above the game showed Real Madrid 4:0 Dinamo Zagreb.

Duimovich muttered: "You played the real thing!" ”

Hearing this, Srna was furious.

"You can say that I don't play football well, but you can't say that I play the game well!"

"Come, come, come! Let me abuse you! ”

Dujmović and Srna start a live battle.

Su Ke's eyelids twitched.

"There's no tension in these two guys."

Luka Modric: "I feel good, it's better than being nervous and not being able to walk. ”

After saying that, Modric pouted towards Nunu next to him.

Suke saw Mandzukic walking hand and foot to the refrigerator.

"It's a turn!"

Su Ke couldn't help but laugh and scolded.

He didn't expect that Mandzukic, who has always had a big heart, was the first to get nervous.

Playing Real Madrid in ordinary times is two different concepts than playing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

It's hard to beat them on their home turf against such a top giant.

"Their defence is terrible and we're not hopeless." Suke said viciously: "Take the Bernabeu!" ”
