Man City will be back in action in the Champions League on Tuesday night as they make their way to Copenhagen for the opening leg of their Last 16 matchup. The reigning champions enter the game on a high note, having emerged victorious in every match during the Group Stage and winning their last 10 consecutive games. Despite facing a tough challenge against Everton on Saturday, Pep Guardiola’s team managed to secure the win with Erling Haaland scoring two crucial goals. As they prepare for Tuesday’s match, Man City has made some changes to their lineup, with Walker, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Jack Grealish stepping in for Akanji, Nunes, Alvarez, and Doku.
The Danish side, Copenhagen, finished in second place in their group, a result that led to the early elimination of Man City’s rivals, Manchester United. When they faced off against Copenhagen at the Parken Stadium in November, Erik ten Hag’s team suffered a 4-3 defeat. Given this history, it is highly unlikely that Man City will face the same fate. Copenhagen faces a daunting task and will likely be content with remaining in the tie after the second leg. In their recent match in The Atlantic Cup, Copenhagen emerged as 3-1 victors over Molde. Jacob Neestrup has selected a strong lineup to take on the holders of the Champions League.
