    FC Copenhagen 1-2 Man City

    Not many touches for Erling Haaland so far. He's had two attempts - one on target. Still loads of time for the City forward to make his presence felt.

  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:25 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

    Dani Carvajal has finally been booked.

    Not a single person inside the stadium is shocked.

  3. CLOSE!published at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

    Leipzig captain Willi Orbán almost gifts one to Real as he loses it inside his own half.

    Vinicius Junior tries to tee up Rodrygo but Xaver Schlager slides in to do just enough to put him off.

    FC Copenhagen 1-2 Man City

    City have had 80.2% possession over the opening 15 minutes of the second half...yet there is still only one goal separating the teams.

    RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

    Benjamin Sesko is almost in again but Aurélien Tchouameni sprints back to stop him. Dani Olmo then spins away brilliantly in the box but smashes his effort miles over the bar...

    FC Copenhagen 1-2 Man City

    Copenhagen break on the counter and substitute Andreas Cornelius looks set to pounce until Nathan Ake heads it clear. Good defending by Ake to prevent a certain goal.

    He won't get the headlines but this has been another polished performance by John Stones who has completed all but one of his 52 passes in the opening 55 minutes.

  8. Postpublished at 21:19 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

    Benjamin Sesko and Dani Olmo try to play a one-two on the edge of the box but Ferland Mendy is there to intercept.

    You can sense that if Manchester City step up the speed in which they move the ball then they can hurt Copenhagen.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    FC Copenhagen 1-2 Man City

    Andreas Cornelius, whose list of former clubs include Cardiff City, has come on for Copenhagen skipper Viktor Claesson.

    RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

    Vinicius Junior manages to keep his balance as he dribbles past a few tackles on the left.

    Mohamed Simakan does well initially to kill the attack but can't keep the ball in play a few moments later.

    Copenhagen were 2-0 down, being outclassed and facing a battering against Man Utd until Rashford was sent off and they were reduced to 10 men. Stop pretending this is contest...it's not.

    Everything is in front of Copenhagen but they have to have an outlet and they don't.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    FC Copenhagen 1-2 Man City

    More magic from the boots of Kevin de Bruyne!

    He's outside the box when he pulls the trigger and it requires a full-stretch diving stop by Kamil Grabara to keep it out.

    A strong left hand by the keeper who was once on Liverpool's books.

    RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

    Dani Carvajal slips it through to Federico Valverde and he has space to pull it back.

    Only Brahim Diaz is in the box and it won't reach him.

  16. Postpublished at 21:14 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    FC Copenhagen 1-2 Man City

    Kevin de Bruyne has been such a big miss this season but he's looking in excellent shape after putting his injury troubles behind him.

    No Premier League player has been directly involved in more goals in 2024 across all competitions than De Bruyne (2 goals, 6 assists) - level with Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez.

    Meanwhile, this game is just the third time De Bruyne has both scored and assisted in a single Champions League game, with his previous two instances coming against Real Madrid (Feb 2020 & Apr 2022).

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:12 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

    Mohamed Simakan is in the book and will miss the next match after a foul on Dani Carvajal.

  18. CLOSE!published at 21:11 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    FC Copenhagen 1-2 Man City

    Copenhagen go close!

    A corner by the impressive Magnus Mattsson finds Mohamed Elyounoussi whose header flashes across the six yard area.

    That was a warning side for City that there is still work to do.

  19. CLOSE!published at 21:10 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February

    RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

    Almost an immediate equaliser!

    Benjamin Henrichs plays it through to Dani Olmo. He stings the fingertips of Andriy Lunin.

    The goalkeeper can't hold it and Benjamin Šeško almost pokes in the rebound before Lunin scrambles it away.

    FC Copenhagen 1-2 Man City

    Sloppy start to the second half by the hosts, who give the ball away cheaply. Copenhagen's Kevin Diks goes down hurt but the free-kick goes to City.
