Champions League: Manchester City to Face Copenhagen in Round of 16
Record Holders to Battle Danish Champions
Draw Sets Up Intriguing Clash
Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champions and holders of the Champions League, will face FC Copenhagen in the round of 16 of the 2023-24 edition of the competition. The draw, held on Monday in Nyon, Switzerland, set up an intriguing clash between two teams with contrasting styles and histories.
Manchester City, with their star-studded squad and Pep Guardiola at the helm, are one of the favorites to win the tournament once more. They have dominated English football in recent years and will be keen to add to their trophy haul with their first Champions League title since 2023.
FC Copenhagen, on the other hand, are a surprise package in the knockout stages. The Danish champions have never reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League but will be hoping to cause an upset against the English giants.
The first leg of the tie will be played at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on February 14, 2024, with the return leg taking place at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on March 7, 2024. Manchester City will be confident of progressing to the quarter-finals, but FC Copenhagen will be determined to prove that they are not to be underestimated.
