As for Manchester City, Kevin de Bruyne (10th), Bernardo Silva (45th+1) and finally Phil Foden (90th+2) concretized the strong domination of the Citizens, who often came up against a valiant defense from Copenhagen, which reduced the score by Magnus Mattsson (34th). The return match will take place on March 6.
