Every day, tens of thousands of people are thought to commute across the 8km bridge between Malmö and Copenhagen. The name of the bridge – Öresund if you’re Swedish or Øresund if you’re Danish – is one of only a few things that divide the people of the two cities. Another one is football.
After Malmö beat Latvia’s RFS in a Champions League qualifier last week their winger Jens Stryger Larsen, who has more than 50 Denmark caps, led the club’s supporters in a vociferous chorus of “We hate Copenhagen” – the identity of their third-round opponents no secret, the draw already made.
