MAN CITY PLAYER RATINGS: Versatile Manuel Akanji was a rock at the back and even opened the scoring while Erling Haaland netted his customary goal - but which big name struggled?

Manchester City eased into the Champions League quarter-finals and geared up for their showdown against Liverpool in style after beating Copenhagen.

With the weekend's crucial trip to Anfield now just around the corner, Pep Guardiola rang the changes as his side looked to build on their 3-1 last-16 aggregate lead.

In the end, the scoreline was a repeat of the first leg, with Manuel Akanji, Julian Alvarez and the ever-ruthless Erling Haaland all on target inside the first half.

The result means City's bid to retain the famous jug-eared trophy remains on track.
