A much-changed Manchester City team made light work of FC Copenhagen to seal a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals for an eighth successive year.

Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne were among the stars rested but the Blues scored twice inside the first 10 minutes to kill the game off with goals from Manu Akanji and Julian Alvarez.

Mohamed Elyounoussi pulled one back for the visitors to give their fans something to cheer on their trip, but Erling Haaland restored the two-goal advantage on the stroke of half-time.

The Blues saw the game out comfortably after that, with time for Micah Hamilton and Jacob Wright to come onto the pitch to earn valuable minutes as well as Sergio Gomez getting a half.
