FC Copenhagen vs. Manchester City



For Copenhagen, the journey post-group stage victory against Galatasaray on Matchday 6 has been marked by a shift in focus. Their triumph against the Turkish giants was their last competitive fixture, with subsequent weeks primarily filled with friendlies and engagements like the Atlantic Cup.

As these two sides prepare to clash on the grand stage of the UEFA Champions League, Copenhagen seeks to harness their recent preparations and channel it into a spirited display against the formidable might of Manchester City. On the other hand, City aims to continue their relentless march towards glory by asserting their dominance in European football.
