Yes, I was also very impressed to see FC Copenhagen in the preliminary round until they were able to qualify for the knockout phase. Even though previously the Danish representatives did not get a good assessment at all to be able to qualify and it turns out they were able to prove that.

FC Copenhagen will certainly bring the same enthusiasm when they meet Manchester City. I think Copenhagen will carry out the same maneuver again during the group stage and they will not be burdened at all. Due to what has been done, Manchester City must be aware of this threat, because even though City is very favored, Copenhagen cannot be taken lightly as an opponent.

Yes, exactly. Even though Manchester City was very superior in the first leg, Manchester City should not consider Copenhagen as a weak team because in the group phase they managed to win against Man United and Galatasaray. they have shown that they can definitely pose a serious threat to any of their opponents and even managed to hold Bayern Munich to a draw in the group phase.

Moreover, the first leg match will be held at Copenhagen's home ground, of course this will be a motivation to play in front of his own supporters. And make no mistake in the last meeting, Manchester City drew away from home when they hosted Copenhagen. I think they will do the same in the first leg. They will play defensively and wait for a counterattack so they can create a surprise in this match.

In the knockout round of the last 16 of the Champions League, it is filled with the best teams in Europe, I don't think there will be a team that will underestimate its opponent.
In terms of quality, of course Manchester City are the favorites, but that doesn't mean they will easily beat Copenhagen, I think anything is still possible and even if a favorite team loses, it won't be a big surprise in the UCL because we have seen it often in previous seasons.
