Considering we're in Scandinavia, those are positively balmy conditions! 16:05. Fresh look. You may have noticed our Matchday Centre is different ...

City decked out in our beautifully bright yellow training jacket. Ederson has a rare lapse in concentration with the ball at his feet. The atmosphere is building in the Parken Stadium... Luckily for us, it rolls just wide of the goal and it's Copenhagen's first corner. A light show here at Parken Stadium - with a rendition of the Boomtown Rats ringing out. There’s a great wall of noise over to my left – the Copenhagen fans packed in behind that goal, who have been here for hours, are making plenty of noise.

Why Erling Haaland's Release Clause Should Not Worry ... (Forbes)

It was reported this week that Manchester CIty striker Erling Haaland has a $195 million release clause in his contract, but despite that clause, City are ...

If he is happy at City in two years’ time, then City could offer him a new contract and end up staying in Manchester for the rest of his career. Many of the other most expensive transfers in soccer have not been anywhere near as successful as imagined. And on top of the transfer fee will be an agent’s fee, which could be more than $50 million, as well as Haaland’s wages. Barcelona’s financial difficulties have been well documented and could get even worse should they fail to make the knockout stages of this season’s Champions League. Haaland is already playing for a club that is competing for the top honors in world soccer, and is already beamed around the world at Manchester City. It’s almost twice Real Madrid’s record transfer fee of $110 million, which they paid for Eden Hazard.

Trying to overcome City's numerical disadvantage, Kevin De Bruyne's curler from the edge of the area forced a good save from Grabara early in the second half. After being denied by VAR, City should have benefitted from the system in the 24th minute, winning a penalty after a replay check of Nicolai Boilesen's handball when he blocked Manuel Akanji's header. Rodri thought he had given City the lead with a 25-metre rocket in the 11th minute.

Plus: How much carnage will a refreshed Erling Haaland cause? Heung-Min Son peaks at important time for Spurs; And do England have a right-back problem ...

Celtic's Champions League hopes are over and it will be tough for them to secure the consolation of Europa League football. A squad of 26 players might allow room for several who are not at optimum fitness but in the same position? It was his pass in behind Fikayo Tomori that led to the moment that took the game away from Milan. Mason Mount was only on the pitch for 45 minutes at the San Siro as Chelsea cruised to victory in Milan. Even so, the performance he produced was up there with his best in a Chelsea shirt. But what should be England's strongest area of the pitch has suddenly become even more complicated for Gareth Southgate. It will be interesting to know what Haaland thought of Guardiola's decision to leave him on the bench, though. The performance up until then had been fairly convincing with the front three of Kane, Son and Richarlison all clicking together nicely. Only Erling Haaland (23) has more goal involvements for a Premier League club in all competitions this season than Firmino, who has eight goals and four assists to his name. Those were not the words of Jurgen Klopp but you get the impression he would have liked to have gone down that Didi Hamman route when pressed after Liverpool's rampant showing at Ibrox which ended up being Rangers' biggest-ever home defeat in a competitive home match. His boys were stagnating in attack with Darwin Nunez fumbling and stumbling across the front line and they were being cut open at the other end. Klopp will be hoping this is just the start, with Liverpool's great rivals coming into view this Sunday.
