- 19:43 Out come the teams. the home side in Black tops and black shorts. Lyon in thier away tops of pink and purple accompanied by white shorts.
- 19:41 The Stadion Maksimer is far from full, perhaps due to the fact that the home team have no chance of progressing. it could also be down to the fact that the temperature is just above freezing in Croatia
- 19:40 There are only 5 minutes until kickoff. Can Lyon possibly overturn the 7 goal deficit? We’re about to find out.
- 19:35 Krunoslav Jurcic – “I expect my players to give everything they have left. It is the end of a long autumn campaign and we have played a lot of games, but we need to give our best against Lyon. We need to look like a real team and to make a decent impression.”
- 19:30 Remi Garde - “We really hope everything goes our way, but it is more realistic to try and score as many goals as possible and defeat Dinamo”
- 19:25 Dinamo have conceded 15 goals in the group so far, that is the joint highest total in the competition along with KRC Genk.
- 19:20 Kim Kallstrom and Cris have to be weary tonight. If they pick up another yellow card, they will miss the next round if Lyon progress.
- 19:15 It looks as though the home side are starting with a formation of 4-1-4-1 with Beqiraj the lone striker. The French side are going with a formation of 4-2-3-1 with Gomis up front on his own, supported by Briand and Lacazette offering assistance from the wide areas.

- 19:00 The home side had started brightly against Real Madrid on match day 1, however 5 games on and there is mathematically no chance that they can progress from Group D.
- 18:55 Having failed to beat Ajax 2 weeks ago, It leaves the chances of the French side looking bleak. To overturn a 7 goal deficit and hope that Ajax don’t get a result against the group D leaders is what the French team need to happen tonight.
- 18:48 The teams are in and they are as follows- DINAMO ZAGREB – Keleva, Ibanez, Vrsalijko, Vida, Calello, Ademi, Leko, Mateo Kovacic, Sammir, Badelj and Beqiraj.

- 18:45 Evening, I’m Phil Green and I’ll be live from the Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb for tonight’s Group D match in between Dinamo Zagreb and Olympique Lyonnais. Lyon are looking to overturn a 7 goal deficit and pip Ajax to second position in group D. If Lyon fail to do so, it will be the first time since 2002-03 that they have failed to qualify for the second phase of the Champions League.
