Copenhagen have managed to become runners up in group A which I thought from the start it would not be possible for them to qualify from this group, but the fact is that they showed a good performance compared to Galatasaray and Manchester United, it was a surprise for me who underestimated Copenhagen because they played with a good structure so that it can balance the games of Manchester United and Galatasaray including Munich. I misjudged them.

Unfortunately, they have to meet Manchester City in the round of 16 when Manchester City's key players are starting to recover from injuries, including KDB. I think maybe they will have difficulty facing Manchester City later, but Copenhagen doesn't seem like they will give up so easily, they will definitely make things difficult. Manchester City and playing optimally, I am interested in seeing the meeting between the two later and betting. Grin

Copenhagen performance was quite impressive in Group A because they were able to drown out top teams like Manchester United in the group phase. Copenhagen progress to the round of 16 was certainly warmly welcomed by fans for their slick performance in the group phase. However, in the round of 16, Copenhagen will face the defending champion, Manchester City. I think they are facing obstacles in progressing to the next round because Manchester City is a strong enough team and even the strongest candidate to win the UCL trophy again.

For Manchester City, of course they are at a great advantage because their opponent is not a team that is balanced with their strengths, so it will make it easier for Manchester City to achieve victory in this match. Even though the Champions League often has surprises, I think Copenhagen will find it difficult to beat Manchester City. Moreover, Manchester City has been strengthened again by Kevin De Bruyne, who is sure to be quite strong this season

Copenhagen performance in the group stage of the UEFA champions league competition this season was without doubt a very impressive one as they progressed along side group winners Bayern Munich to the knockout stages of the competition while teams like Manchester United and Galatasaray couldn't make it out of the same group and that's why some people give them a slight chance of having a good result against Manchester City when the two teams meets in their round of 16 tie. I was also one of the people who thought they had a chance against City but after watching Manchester City's second half performance against Newcastle tonight, I don't think Copenhagen can do anything to eliminate City.
When Kelvin De Bruyne was introduced in the league game against Newcastle United tonight, he changed the atmosphere at the King James Park with his incredible performance that saw him score a goal and provide an assist for the winner. Erling Haaland will also be back before the first leg game against Copenhagen and that's why I don't think they stand any chance of eliminating Manchester City in that tie
