Manchester City have reached the quarter-finals of the 2023-24 Champions League with a comfortable 3-1 win over FC Copenhagen at the Etihad Stadium.
Manuel Akanji opened the scoring for City in the 11th minute, with Julián Álvarez doubling the lead in the 35th minute. Erling Haaland added a third in the 53rd minute to put the game beyond Copenhagen's reach.
Mohamed Elyounoussi pulled one back for Copenhagen on the half-hour mark, but City were always in control of the game and never looked like relinquishing their lead.
The result means that City have now won both legs of their last-16 tie against Copenhagen, following their 3-1 away win in the first leg. They will now await the quarter-final draw, which will take place on March 17.
City's victory was a comfortable one, and they were never really troubled by Copenhagen. The Danish side had a few chances to score, but they were unable to take advantage of them.
City, on the other hand, were clinical in front of goal. They created a number of chances and took three of them. They also defended well, and Copenhagen were unable to create many clear-cut chances.
City's victory was a deserved one, and they now look like one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season. They have a strong squad, and they are playing with confidence. They will be a difficult team to beat in the quarter-finals.
