    Football Club Copenhagen (Danish: Football Club København), commonly known as FC København, FC Copenhagen, Copenhagen or simply FCK, is a professional Danish football club in Copenhagen, Denmark. Football Club Copenhagen is, in many ways, both an old and a new club. Even though the club was established in 1992, it is rooted in more than 100 years of club tradition. The club's first team represents two separate clubs: Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (continental Europe's oldest football club) founded in 1876 and Boldklubben 1903 founded in 1903. The two Copenhagen clubs merged their first teams to found Copenhagen on 1 July 1992.

    F.C. Copenhagen has won 15 Danish Football Championships and 9 Danish Cups. In European football F.C. Copenhagen has reached the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and the group stage of the UEFA Europa League more times than any other Danish club and are the only Danish club who has reached the knockout stage of the Champions League. As of August 2020, Copenhagen are the highest ranked Scandinavian club in the UEFA club coefficient rankings list.

    Since their foundation, FCK have developed a fierce rivalry with Brøndby IF. The Copenhagen Derby games between the two sides have attracted some of the biggest crowds in Danish football history. Copenhagen plays its matches at the Telia Parken, which also serves as the venue for the Danish national football team's matches.

    You'd expect Bayern to beat Galatasaray at home so if we can beat Copenhagen we'll move to 2nd place with 6 points, 2 more than Turkish side. Then a game between them and us in Istanbul would be huge and we'd at least have to avoid defeat otherwise the situation becomes really complicated.

    Hope we can win this but even if we do it probably won't be more than a 1-0/2-1 as always.

    Probably same as today but with Dalot at RB and Reguilion at LB because it's probably too early for AWB to play twice a week.

    AWB - Varane - Maguire - Regulion

    Biggest game we have had for many years, it will define ETH.

    Hopefully Antony dropped and we see a functional midfield.

    Suspect he will scrape through.
     
    This is the match where we need all 3 points, more than any other. Bayern will surely do Gala once again.

    If we win this, I think we can shithouse a draw in Turkey, and then you figure that Bayern will come to Old Trafford with basically nothing to play for as they'll have the group sewn up already, and maybe they'll rest half their stars and we'll avoid defeat and get through.

    AWB
    Maguire
    Lindelof
    Reguilon

    Amrabat

    All that counts is to get a win.
    Anything else would be a bonus.

    Indeed. Win the next 2 and that's 3 wins on the bounce going into the international break. We will have some players back at that point so hopefully onwards and upwards.
     
    Think ETH has the backing of the majority of matchgoing / domestic fans.

    That will all change if Antony plays again imo

    At first, I was quite confused why you posted random names.
    Then I looked closer and figured that's your front three and midfield for Wednesday night game. :D

    Certainly hope so.
     
    Win here and wouldn't put it past us to come back from Denmark with 3 points
     
    It will end 1-1. They are a better team than Fulham.

    Would be a good line up, if Casemiro wan't OUT FOR 2 MONTHS
     
    Copenhagen 4-2 winners this afternoon left their captain Claesson on the bench as was Goncalves who started in Old Trafford

    Elyounoussi didn't feature, injured or rested?
