Manchester City faces FC Copenhagen in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information about this match.
The idea emerges that Manchester City is very alone on its planet at the start of the year. Guardiola’s squad can, however, be improved in many respects. She has not yet found her cruising speed. But she is starting to give off this steamroller impression in important meetings, as she demonstrated again by winning with authority against local rival, Manchester United, in the derby on Sunday (3-1).
In this context, the second round against Copenhagen looks like a formality for the title holder. Winners 3-1 in the first leg, Erling Haaland’s teammates just have to finish the job at the Etihad to quietly secure their ticket for the quarter-finals of this edition. This poster is perhaps even the least interesting on paper. HAS City to take advantage of it.
The expected compositions
Manchester City: Ederson – Walker, Stones, Dias, Aké – Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva – Foden, Haaland, Doku.
FC Copenhagen : Grabara – Jelert, Vavro, McKenna, Meling – Mattsson, Falk, Holjund – Elyounoussi, Claesson, Achouri.
