Manchester City cruised to a 10th consecutive Champions League victory, defeating Copenhagen with ease in the second leg of their last 16 tie. The win was highlighted by an early goalkeeping error from former Liverpool keeper Kamil Grabara, who fumbled a cross-shot from Julian Alvarez into his net. Despite the blunder, City dominated the match, with Erling Haaland adding to the scoreline to secure a 4-1 aggregate win.

The victory was a testament to City’s depth, as manager Pep Guardiola made seven changes to the starting lineup, fielding the club’s second-youngest side ever in the competition. The result was never in doubt, with Manuel Akanji and Alvarez scoring early goals to put the tie to bed. Mohammed Elyounoussi scored a consolation goal for Copenhagen, but City’s lead was never threatened.

With their place in the quarterfinals secured for the seventh straight season, City can now focus on their upcoming Premier League matches, including a crucial showdown with Manchester United and Liverpool. Guardiola’s men look formidable, especially at home, where they have scored three or more goals in nine consecutive Champions League matches.
