Sharing is caring

Defending Champions Manchester City resumed their Champions League title defence with a comfortable victory at FC Copenhagen in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

City went ahead in the tenth minute through Kevin de Bruyne but were pegged back after Ederson gifted the ball straight to Copenhagen with a poor clearance and Magnus Mattsson took full advantage with a fantastic strike.

Bernardo Silva put Manchester City ahead again just before half-time with a clever flick after a ball from De Bruyne deflected through to him before Foden restored their two goal advantage with a late strike

Elsewhere a brilliant goal by Brahim Diaz handed Real Madrid the advantage in their own tie against RB Leipzig.

Diaz curled a superb finish into the top corner three minutes after half-time to give Real the win in Germany.

His goal puts Real in a good position to reach the quarter-finals for the 12th time in the past 14 seasons.

The return legs of both ties come up on 6 March.
