Manchester United returns to the C1 by facing Copenhagen at home. The Sky Blues are favorites in this opposition.
Manchester City will resume the defense of their continental title this Tuesday when they travel to Scandinavia to meet Copenhagen in the round of 16 first leg.
Pep Guardiola’s men swept aside the competition in Group G to finish top, while the Danes slipped to second place in Group A, behind Bayern Munich.
Man City wants to extend its good streak
Man City fans may have been joking amongst themselves as they watched their nemesis United lose 4-3 in Copenhagen in the group stage, but there will be no time for jokes on Tuesday night, because the champions of the C1 also risk being trapped by an attractive team from Copenhagen.
RB Leipzig, Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade were the teams that attempted to snuff out Guardiola’s might in the group stage of Europe’s most prestigious competition, but their efforts were in vain as the titans from Manchester reached the round of 16 with a total of 18 points.
Only Real Madrid, 14-time winners of the event, have also reached the round of 16 without losing a single point. By beating Red Star 3-2 on the final day of Group G, the reigning champions extended their Champions League winning streak to eight matches, the longest run by an English team in history of the competition. A series that should be extended this Wednesday.
