The victory saw Pep Guardiola’s defending European champions complete a 6-2 aggregate success after a 3-1 win in the Danish capital last month.

Goals from Manuel Akanji and Julian Alvarez in the first 10 minutes gave us a four-goal advantage in the tie, before Copenhagen attacker Mohamed Elyounoussi pulled one back just ahead of the half hour.

Erling Haaland’s clinical finish on the cusp of half-time restored the four-goal margin and ensured a comfortable second period for the Blues.

The result made it 30 games since our last Champions League defeat at the Etihad – a run stretching back to September 2018 – and 22 matches unbeaten in total in Europe.

We have won our last 10 matches in the Champions League, becoming the first English side to achieve that figure.
