Former Milan star Gennaro Gattuso believes Dinamo Zagreb will pose a serious threat in their Champions League clash, highlighting Martin Baturina as their key player.

Dinamo Zagreb is gearing up for their final Champions League group stage match against AC Milan, with slim hopes of advancing. Despite having accumulated eight points, the Croatian side needs a near-miraculous combination of results to progress.

Meanwhile, a victory for Milan would secure their place among the top eight teams, making the upcoming clash crucial for the Italian giants. As anticipation builds, Italian media turned to Rossoneri legend and current Hajduk Split manager Gennaro Gattuso for insights on Dinamo's quality and the challenges Milan will face.

"Dinamo is a talented and quality team that always plays to win and knows how to handle Champions League pressure. Playing at Maksimir is much tougher than facing Slovan Bratislava," Gattuso remarked.

The Italian tactician singled out Martin Baturina as Dinamo's standout player, while also praising Petar Sučić, who is reportedly close to a move to Inter Milan.

Dinamo has high expectations for both players, with potential transfer fees projected to bring in around €40 million.

Gattuso’s perspective carries weight, especially considering his success against Dinamo in the Croatian league this season, where his Hajduk side won both encounters 1-0, establishing a seven-point lead over their rivals heading into the second half of the campaign.
