COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- It's possible to have good moments against Manchester City. They can even be beaten over 90 minutes as Wolves, Arsenal, and Aston Villa have already proved this season. But beating Pep Guardiola's team over two games -- with one at the Etihad Stadium, where they haven't lost for more than a year -- is something else.

City have only lost one two-legged UEFA Champions League knockout tie in nearly five years, and even that required something of a miracle from Real Madrid when they scored twice in stoppage time at the Bernabeu in 2022.
