UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Manchester City Demolish Copenhagen to Seal Quarterfinal Berth
Stunning Victory in Second Leg
Manchester City booked their place in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals with a dominant 3-0 victory over FC Copenhagen in the second leg of their round of 16 tie. After securing a comfortable 5-0 advantage in the first leg, City maintained their momentum and put on a clinical performance at the Etihad Stadium.
Goals Galore for City Stars
Manuel Akanji opened the scoring for City in the 32nd minute with a powerful header from a corner. Julián Álvarez doubled the lead shortly before half-time, tapping in a rebound from a saved Erling Haaland shot. Haaland himself got on the scoresheet in the second half with a trademark finish from close range, completing a comfortable victory for the English champions.
Copenhagen's Hopes Dashed
Copenhagen, who had impressed in the group stage, were unable to match City's intensity and succumbed to a heavy defeat. Despite their best efforts, the Danish side were simply outclassed by a superior team and their hopes of causing an upset were quickly extinguished.
Looking Ahead
With their place in the quarterfinals secured, Manchester City will shift their attention to their domestic commitments. They face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday and will be looking to add another trophy to their collection.
