Jamie Jackson has filed his match report from the Etihad:

This victory was as smooth and serene as Manchester City’s passage into Friday-week’s draw for the quarter-finals.

Three-one up from the first leg, Pep Guardiola sent out an XI that rested the frontline artillery of Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, John Stones, Bernardo Silva, Nathan Aké and Kyle Walker ahead of the crunch clash with Liverpool and Copenhagen still trailed 3-1 at the break, 6-2 on aggregate.

Manuel Akanji, Julián Álvarez and Erling Haaland were City’s scorers, Mohamed Elyounoussi registering Copenhagen’s consolation as the second half became an exercise in keeping shape and concentration for the Catalan’s side.
