The Champions League match between Manchester City and FC Copenhagen will take place at Etihad Stadium on Thursday at 1:30 am IST.
After winning their local match over the weekend, Manchester City are back in action for the Champions League against Copenhagen at home on Wednesday. They’re up by two goals already from the first leg, where they won 3-1 in Denmark.
Man City won their 17th game in a row, beating Man United 3-1 after trailing at halftime. Phil Foden scored twice, praised as the best player by coach Pep Guardiola, and Erling Haaland scored too. They’re now just one point behind Liverpool in the Premier League. They face Newcastle next in the FA Cup but must focus on the Champions League first. They lead Copenhagen 3-1 from their first leg and aim to continue their winning streak. If they win, they’ll join Real Madrid and Bayern Munich as the only teams with 10 consecutive Champions League victories.
Copenhagen, in their second-ever Champions League knockout stage, faced Man City after a solid group stage. They drew optimism from their group performance but lost the first leg despite scoring first. Their coach admitted City’s superiority but hoped to learn from the experience. Copenhagen bounced back with domestic wins but lost ground in the title race. They’ve never won against an English team away and haven’t won a Champions League away game since 2016. Their last visit to the Etihad ended in a heavy defeat. Beating Man City will be tough, but they aim to make history and gain valuable experience despite the odds.
Manchester City probable starting lineup: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Rodri, Foden, Alvarez, Doku, Haaland
FC Copenhagen probable starting lineup: Grabara, Jelert, Vavro, McKenna, Diks, Goncalves, Falk, Mattsson, Elyounoussi, Larsson, Achouri
