MANCHESTER CITY 3-1 COPENHAGEN - REPORT
Manchester City remain on course for the double-treble after cruising into the UEFA Champions quarter-finals courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Copenhagen.
With a 3-1 advantage from the first leg, it took Pep Guardiola’s side just five minutes to open the scoring, as Manuel Akanji made it 1-0 with a delicious volley, before Julian Alvarez doubled the lead shortly afterwards.
Former Southampton man Mohamed Elyounoussi pulled one back for the Danes with a delightful finish, and that led to a spirited period for visitors, until Erling Haaland put the tie to bed before half-time.
It was plain sailing from there on in for City, as although Ederson made one save from Magnus Mattsson, they were largely untroubled in a quiet second half.
At the other end, the hosts created very little against a compact defence, failing to even register a shot on target in the second half. However, they knew their job was already done, and a seventh successive Champions League quarter-final awaits.
REAL GO THROUGH
Here's the round-up of what happened in Spain as Real Madrid took on RB Leipzig
AKANJI HAPPY WITH CITY DISPLAY
"The first two goals in the first half made it easier for us. It was pretty hard for them to come back.
"We did what we had to do today."
FERDINAND IMPRESSED
TNT Sports pundit Rio Ferdinand has his say on the City performance. "Really professional job" with "a big game to come" against Liverpool at the weekend
FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 3-1 COPENHAGEN

CITY RUNNING THE CLOCK DOWN
They've just held on to possession for a good two or three minutes! Copenhagen couldn't get the ball off them!
CORNELIUS BOOKED
He goes in on Akanji with a high foot. It was an honest challenge, but also worthy of a yellow
CLOCK TICKING
With time running out, Copenhagen are really going for it in these closing exchanges. They've got forward on several occasions, only to have shots blocked
ELYOUNOUSSI LASHES OVER
A loose ball falls to the former Celtic man on the edge of the area but he lofts miles over the bar with a shot that he snatched at

DIKS CAUGHT UNAWARE
Copenhagen get the ball into the box and a deflection in front of Diks means it hits the defender, more than him trying to divert goalwards, and Ederson can collect. That was a chance.
CITY SUB
Nunes is off, it looks like he's dislocated his finger. Micah Hamilton is his replacement
