Currently third in the Danish Superliga, Copenhagen qualified for the Round of 16 at the expense of Turkish giants Galatasaray and Premier League side Man Utd. Finishing second in Group A, behind the undefeated Bayern Munich, was quite an achievement for The Lions, but their reward is a seriously tough test against arguably the best side in the world, Man City.
Last season saw Man City finally claim the one trophy that has eluded them for so long. They are the reigning champions of Europe (and the world, after winning the Club World Cup in December). The goal now will be to solidify their status as one of the most elite clubs in soccer history by defending their first CL title and laying down the roots to build a genuine dynasty.
On paper, Man City are the clear favorites, even with Copenhagen enjoying home-field advantage. But don’t totally write the historic Danish club off, the last time these sides met in the Champions League was in October 2022 during the group stage where Copenhagen held Man City to a goalless draw. However, the reverse fixture was a 5-0 thrashing by City with world-class striker Erling Haaland scoring a brace.
Here's how they line up:
Copenhagen: Grabara, Diks, Vavro, Claesson, Mattson, Diogo, Elyounoussi, Jelert, McKenna, Achouri, Falk.
Man City: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Haaland.
