Match background • The game in Zagreb was the first time PSG had faced opponents from Croatia. • Dinamo have recorded one victory in seven visits to France, losing three of the other six games. Their solitary success came in the 1989/90 UEFA Cup preliminary round first leg when they won 1-0 against AJ Auxerre through Davor Šuker's late goal, although they went down 3-1 at home in the return. They lost on their last trip to France, a 2-0 reverse against Olympique Lyonnais in last season's UEFA Champions League group stage. • PSG, runners-up in Ligue 1 last season and making their fifth tilt at the UEFA Champions League, were last in the competition in 2004/05. They started that campaign with a 3-0 home defeat by Chelsea FC then beat Porto 2-0 in Paris but a 3-1 home loss to PFC CSKA Moskva meant they finished fourth in their group. • Champions of Croatia for the seventh year in succession in 2011/12, when they completed the domestic double, Dinamo are taking part in the group stage for the second season running and the fourth time in all. • As in 2011, the Zagreb outfit came through three qualifying rounds, first overcoming Bulgaria's PFC Ludogorets Razgrad with Domagoj Vida scoring the winner eight minutes into added time in a 4-3 aggregate success. Ante Rukavina struck Dinamo's other three goals in the tie. • In the third qualifying round, FC Sheriff were defeated 1-0 in Moldova and 4-0 at home. Tonel's first-half goal at Slovenia's NK Maribor confirmed Dinamo's progress in the play-offs after they had won 2-1 in Zagreb. • The Croatian club lost all six group games last season, going down 2-0 at Lyon, 4-0 at AFC Ajax and 6-2 away to Real Madrid CF. They conceded 22 goals in all, a UEFA Champions League group stage record. Team ties • Ibrahimović's mother was born in Croatia and the striker returned to her home country, and Dinamo's Stadion Maksimir, to score from the penalty spot and make another goal in Sweden's 3-1 friendly victory on 2 February this year. • Thiago Motta played for Italy in a 1-1 UEFA EURO 2012 draw against Croatia in Poznan on 14 June. Josip Šimunić, Vida, Šime Vrsaljko and Ivan Kelava were all on the bench for Croatia, as was Salvatore Sirigu for Italy. • Šimunić and Vida played for Croatia in a goalless friendly draw against France in Paris on 29 March 2011. Blaise Matuidi and Ménez started for the home side and Kevin Gameiro came on as a substitute. • Šimunić also played against France at UEFA EURO 2004, Croatia's group match in Leiria ending 2-2.

The Sweden captain had previously found the net for AFC Ajax, Juventus, FC Internazionale Milano, FC Barcelona and AC Milan. • PSG have conceded 47 UEFA Champions League goals, group stage to final. Miscellaneous • Ibrahimović was sent off 20 minutes from time on Saturday as PSG lost 2-1 to AS Saint-Étienne – their first home league defeat since Carlo Ancelotti's appointment at the end of 2011. Blaise Matuidi and Clément Chantôme both went off with injuries. • Guillaume Hoarau scored PSG's consolation, his first goal in 12 games stretching back to 25 March. • PSG had gone 473 minutes without conceding a goal in all competitions before Mamadou Sakho's own goal against St-Etienne. • PSG advanced to the French League Cup quarter-finals on 31 October with a 2-0 home win against Olympique de Marseille, winners of the last three editions. PSG will visit St-Etienne in the last eight on 27 November. • Ibrahimović is in the running for the FIFA Ballon d'Or award, the winner of which will be announced on 7 January. • Work starts this month on refurbishing the Parc des Princes ahead of UEFA EURO 2016. • Nenê was ruled out for three to six weeks after breaking his cheekbone on 20 October. • Ibrahimović scored after 27 seconds in the 2-1 win at LOSC Lille on 2 September, PSG's quickest-ever league goal. Dinamo Zagreb UEFA Champions League statistics • Ivan Kelava and Domagoj Vida have played all 810 minutes of Dinamo's UEFA Champions League campaign, qualifying included.
