While Dinamo Zagreb is the next Bâton challenger, only 1 Croatian club did hold it. 🇭🇷

In fact, Hajduk counts 4 appearances. They held once against Danish side Vejle in 1979 (3-0, 1-2). They appeared again in 1995 against Ajax in UCL QFs but were not able to score (0-0, 0-3). pic.twitter.com/jTKgcT9Mua
