Copenhagen players know they can not match Manchester City players shoulder-to-shoulder when they meet in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. The only advantage Copenhagen will have against Manchester City at home is that Manchester City will score them few goals.
The ultimate target of Manchester City is playing in the UCL final this season, they're reigning Champions and giving up is not an option for them. Pep Guardiola and his team is lucky enough to face an average side in the UCL round of 16. This EPL elite side is ready to mount their strength against there opponents. Copenhagen doesn't stand a slim chance of eliminating Manchester City in the round of 16. We're the viewers of the UEFA Champions League competition and we know the club's that would become promising and the ones that will struggle fulltime before finally getting knockout.
Copenhagen last season was in the same group as Man City in the UCL group stage, namely in Group G. And in Copenhagen's first meeting with Man City, the match ended with a very big score, namely 5-0, with Man City winning. And I think this time will not be much different. Namely, Man City will succeed in beating Copenhagen again very smoothly. Without any significant difficulties. Moreover, now De Bruyne has also returned to playing which will make Man City return to their best performance. Haaland is also expected to be back playing when the round of 16 starts.
But in the first leg, because Copenhagen is the host, Man City probably won't be able to score many goals. Because last season Man City was held to a draw when they came to Copenhagen headquarters. But then in the second leg Man City will go crazy in front of their own supporters.
There is no doubt that Man City will win and progress from the last 16. Because Man City definitely wants to experience lifting the same trophy as last season.
