Copenhagen's season has been a fantasy. Their performance has improved, but Manchester City is a significant test. Copenhagen must overcome City's full strength revival with their finest players. Football surprises, but their chances of an upset are minimal. Im curious to see if Copenhagen can deceive or if City will win. Whatever happens, it will be an exciting battle, and Im curious.
Copenhagen finished second behind Bayern Munich in a group that included Manchester United and Galatasaray. I thought they were lucky when they got good results against Galatasaray and Manchester United, but they won my respect when they got a similar result against Bayern Munich. They don't have much chance against Manchester City but I know they won't be an easy opponent for Manchester City.
I also started not to underestimate Copenhagen after they managed to hold Bayern to a draw. But against Man City is a different matter. Because Man City's sharp attacks are much more dangerous than the attacks that Bayern usually builds. So I doubt Copenhagen can build an attack without focusing on defense. Because if Copenhagen is careless in defense then a rain of goals could occur. Because Man City will not miss a gap that the opponent has.
And actually Copenhagen doesn't have many options to survive in the first leg of the last 16. Because as hosts, Copenhagen still has to try to win the match. Because it is certain that when Man City plays as host, Man City will also try to win with lots of goals. So if Copenhagen tries to get a draw in the first leg then this will only give Man City an advantage in the second leg.
