If Copenhagen gets eliminated at this stage, I will still give them a thumbs up for coming this far in the champions league. When the group stage was drawn, Copenhagen was the least of my expectations that would make it out of the group. I always thought, Bayern Munich will come first, then Manchester United, then Galatasaray and then Copenhagen. But Copenhagen proved me wrong and switched the position I expected from them with that of Manchester United.
Manchester City is a bigger and more stronger team than them, I know they’re also trying their best but they’re no match for Manchester City especially now that most of their players are back from injury and are ready to go fully into the competition to earn another victory for themselves. If Copenhagen is eliminated now, it is understandable and they’ve tried their best and added to their record to make it this far in the champions league.
Copenhagen really pulled off surprises in the group stage of the UCL and they made it to the Round of 16, this is quite a huge deal breaker as not many expected this to be so. They really outplayed Manchester United in their matches and got a draw against Munich and Galatasaray that saw them through to the round of 16.
Now they face defending Champions Man City, in a match I don’t see them having any win at all. Manchester City having the full squad back will unleash terror on this Copenhagen side. Well if they bow out at this stage, I will be more proud because they’ve achieved a feat for the club and it’s never going unnoticed. The players should be proud and still brace up confidence to face Manchester City, cause this time around they're be facing a more tougher opponent different from those in the group stage.
