FC Copenhagen vs Manchester City History
FC Copenhagen don’t have a fortune of fond memories in terms of success on a continental scale. The Danish outfit reached the Second Round (last-eight) of the Champions League in 1993/94 but lost to eventual champions AC Milan, 7-0 on aggregate.
17 years later, Copenhagen made a long-awaited return to the Champions League knockout phase, but ultimately fell to Chelsea in the Round of 16.
Copenhagen suffered three group-stage exits before returning to the last-16 in 2023/24. Byens Hold ended runners-up behind Bayern Munich in their group, finishing ahead of both Galatasaray and Manchester United.
Manchester City, meanwhile, have emerged as a force to be reckoned with in recent times. After many years of trying, the Citizens finally secured European honours with a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the 2022/23 Champions League final.
Pep Guardiola's side had previously come within touching distance of the trophy in 2021 – losing against Chelsea in the final – and before that they succumbed to a semi-final exit at the hands of eventual champions Real Madrid in 2016.
FC Copenhagen vs Manchester City Head-to-Head
The first-ever competitive meeting between Copenhagen and Man City came in the 2008/09 season. They clashed in the Round of 32 of the UEFA Cup (precursor to the Europa League) as the Premier League side triumphed 4-3 on aggregate including a 2-1 home win.
Their maiden clash in Europe’s premier club competition came in 2022 when they shared a Champions League group. The teams settled for a goalless draw at Parken Stadion, after a rampant 5-0 victory for Man City at the Etihad Stadium.
When they met again the following season, this time in the Round of 16, the Citizens claimed a 3-1 win in the first leg at Parken. Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Phil Foden were all on target for the visitors.
