Pep Guardiola’s City, who are looking to retain the title they won in Istanbul last June, will be expected to comfortably get the better of the Danish side, who qualified from their group at the expense of Manchester United after beating the Red Devils 4-3 at home.

Inter Milan, as Serie A leaders, faces a tough challenge against Atletico Madrid, adding intrigue to the tie with coach Diego Simeone’s history as a player with Inter in the late 1990s.
