Champions League free beer for everyone!

Copenhagen’s surprising qualification for the Champions League round of 16, surpassing Galatasaray and Manchester United, drew one of the most striking images of the European matchday. After the final game, the club announced that beer would be free in all stadium bars. What a way to help the fans celebrate the historic achievement of a relatively modest club in UEFA’s premier competition. As if they needed help!

Copenhagen paying for fans’ beer

This is not the first time, by any means, that Copenhagen has participated in the top continental competition. Memories linger of those clashes with Guardiola’s Barcelona, back when the Danish team, led by Solbakken, pushed the generally accepted best team in the world to the limit. However, a period of uncertainty followed, which has now dissipated with the current and historic performance in this season’s Champions League.

Copenhagen defeated Galatasaray in the final match, securing their mathematical qualification. Throughout the group stage, they demonstrated competitiveness, even facing giants like United and the dominant team Bayern Munich. They defeated the Red Devils in Copenhagen and made things difficult for the Bavarians in both encounters.

In the decisive duel, celebrations erupted with the final whistle, and the club pleasantly surprised its fans with free beer for everyone. On to the next round, the round of 16.
