Copenhagen pulled out a great performance in Group A of the UEFA Champions League to reach the last 16 when people were expecting Manchester United to qualify with Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Even though the match between Copenhagen and Manchester City is not played, we all know that Manchester City is through to the quarter-final.
Maybe the attitude of underestimating the opponent can thwart Manchester City to the quarterfinals, because on paper the two teams have a quality that is quite different, and Copenhagen fans might just hope that their favorite team will play freely so that they can still provide resistance even though the final result is Manchester City who qualifies but it will not disappoint fans because this is not a balanced match, unless they face a more balanced team like PSV but it certainly won't be possible because the draw will always pair the favorite and weak teams so that teams like Copenhagen can be said to be impossible to advance to the next round because if they don't meet Manchester City then another favorite team will be their opponent, because it can be said that Copenhagen is the team that is considered the weakest in this round of 16 because their success in qualifying from the group phase is quite surprising.
The big clubs should have realized that they should not underestimate the opponents they will face, because it will backfire on them. Likewise with Manchester City, they should not underestimate their opponents this time, even though the quality of their opponents is far below Manchester City.
Manchester City are the defending champions now, they definitely want to defend the title this season, they in my opinion are lucky enough to face Copenhagen in this round, this increases their chances of being in the next round.
They can't afford to miss out on a great opportunity to be in the next round, because it doesn't look like Copenhagen will be able to knock them out, yes although it could happen.
