Dinamo put 11 points between her and Fcsbrival which, until this summer, subordinated it uninterrupted for five seasons. It's an unheard of distance in the last decade and a half between the two! The “dogs” had 11 points over the red-blue in 2011, a distance that melted until the end of that season
We are in the middle of September 2025, and the dynamovists still do not believe that such a scenario is possible! Within two months, Dinamo interrupted the FCSB FCSB series, defeated it with a 4-3 unbeliever and has an advance of 11 points and eight positions against the rival.
With five victories in the last six stages, Dinamo has speculated the abyssal crisis of the champion results, turning into a reality a scenario that seemed fantasy: that of eclipsed, at least temporarily, the most fierce opponent in the internal championship.
Have had 11 advance point and chose the dust
The “dogs” also had a similar advance compared to the FCSB in the 2011-2012 season, the one in which Dinamo led the championship under the command of Liviu Ciobotariu, just the opponent he at yesterday.
At the beginning of December 2011 before the direct match of Stefan cel Mare, The red-white were the leaders of the League 1 and laughed in the nose of the rival from +11.
The denouement? FCSB won for the first time in the “pit” after 7 years, 3-1 – what match Raul Rusescu! -, signing the beginning of the end for Dinamo, who, although winter in the first place, collapsed, gave up the boss and finished the championship on 5, four points under FCSB!

For the red-blue, three consecutive titles followed, Dinamo disintegrated, went into insolvency and did not count than episodic (2017) in the peak fight. And later came another insolvency and a historical relegation in “B”.
Although he defeated her in the direct duels, he even confused her in the title fight, Dinamo had, to this day, a team capable of competing with the great rival.
They didn't even think it was possible: “I didn't start very well”
Cătălin Cîrjan, Dinamo's new leader, also commented on the hypostasis in which the “dogs” are in relation to FCSB, reminiscent of the stumbling start of the championship, with two points in the first three rounds.
“We didn't believe it because we didn't start very well but we don't look at other teams, we are happy with our performance and we want to keep it up.
(…) And so far it was a good atmosphere, we had many points, we were in 3rd place. We are happy, but we do not have to take it in our heads and we have to continue. We only depend on us. If we play the game at every match, I think we can defeat any team in the championship.
Last year, we were talking that we are a surprise and this year we are talking that we are a surprise, I think we have valuable players and we deserve to be there, “commented Cîrjan.
