Copenhagen go WILD as they seal unlikely Champions League last-16 progress by beating Galatasaray... while Inter Milan are pipped to top spot in their group by Real Sociedad

Copenhagen celebrated with roars of unbridled elation after reaching the last 16 of the Champions League for only the second time ever on Tuesday night.

The Danish champions beat Galatasaray 1-0 to secure qualification and will continue their fairytale journey in 2024 after progressing from the second qualifying round, which began back in July.

A goal from Lukas Lerager, who was later sent off, was enough to put Copenhagen through to the knockout rounds for the first time since 2010/11.

The result meant Galatasaray finished third in Group A, dropping down into the Europa League, while Manchester United finished bottom and crashed out of Europe with a 1-0 loss against Bayern Munich.
