The Catalan coach takes his City side to the Danish capital where they face FC Copenhagen, knowing that a win or even a draw would be enough to secure a berth in the Round of 16 of the competition. The ‘Sky Blues’ objective is, however to secure top spot in Group G and, in theory, secure an easier path in the knockout stage with City’s trickiest group stage test coming in matchday 5 as they travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund.
