FC Copenhagen vs Man City LIVE: Champions League result and final score after Sergio Gomez red card

FC Copenhagen 0-0 Manchester City: Pep Guardiola’s side reduced to 10 men after Gomez red card as they fail to score for the first time this season

Can't compare Haaland to Messi - Pep

Manchester City were held to a frustrating draw at FC Copenhagen as Pep Guardiola’s side were made to wait to confirm their place in the Champions League knockout stages.

In a game marred by VAR decisions and overturns, City had an opening goal scored by Rodri ruled out for a handball on Riyad Mahrez. City, who rested Erling Haaland, were then awarded a penalty but Mahrez saw his effort from the spot saved.

And there was a further VAR decision that went against City as left back Sergio Gomez was sent off for pulling back Copenhagen forward Hakon Haraldssonon the edge of the box when he was through on goal.

City’s place in the last 16 could still be confirmed tonight, unless Sevilla beat Borussia Dortmund away from home. Follow all the reaction before Champions League coverage continues with Celtic vs RB Leipzig:

Celtic’s hopes of Champions League progression end with RB Leipzig defeat

Celtic’s hopes of Champions League progression ended on Tuesday night after RB Leipzig hit two late goals at Parkhead.

Former Chelsea forward Timo Werner headed the opener in the 75th minute and Emil Forsberg sealed a 2-0 away win nine minutes later.

The defeat leaves Celtic bottom of Group F with one point from four matches and with no chance of making second place following Shakhtar Donetsk’s draw against Real Madrid in Warsaw.

The Scottish champions can still finish third but would need to beat Shakhtar and then get a result in the Bernabeu – and they would need to develop a far more clinical edge to do so.

They again had the better of the first-half chances but hit the frame of the goal twice and missed several good headed opportunities before the visitors stepped up their attacking threat.

FT Celtic 0-2 RB Leipzig

Reaction from RB Leipzg goalscorer Timo Werner who said:

“I believe we had several stages where they were good and where we were good, but we were always present and in the end our win wasn’t undeserved.

“Scoring a goal in front of such a crowd is always good. The biggest part of this goal belongs to André, I only head to connect my head to the ball.

“We have had a difficult season so far, so every win is great. We had a lot to make up for in the Champions League after the two defeat at the beginning. If we don’t lose in Warsaw against Donetsk, we are well-placed for a second-placed finish.”

FT Celtic 0-2 RB Leipzig

Celtic’s captain on the night Cameron Carter-Vickers gave his post match reaction to BT Sport saying:

“Disappointing not to get a result. For large parts of the game we played quite well. It’s Champions League football, you’ve got to take your chances.

“This is high level football. For us we’ve just got to keep working hard. We’cve got two games left - we want two positive results.”

FT Celtic 0-2 RB Leipzig

That late goal for Real Madrid means Celtic can still catch Shakhtar Donetsk or RB Leipzig in Group F if they win their last two games and that would result in third place and a spot in the Europa League.

They cannot finish in the top two so they’re out of the running for the last 16 with two games still to play.

FT Celtic 0-2 RB Leipzig

Over in the other Group F game of the night Antonio Rudiger has scored a 95th minute equaliser for Real Madrid to earn them a 1-1 draw and keep the Spanish side top of the group!

Full-time: Celtic 0-2 RB Leipzig

90+3 mins: There goes the full-time whistle and Celtic have been defeated at home to RB Leipzig. The step up to the Champions League has been a step too for the Scottish champions.

They are still winless in Europe’s top competition this year. RB Leipzig left it late but two late goals is enough to give them the victory.

Celtic 0-2 RB Leipzig

90 mins: Three minutes of added time to play.

Celtic 0-2 RB Leipzig

87 mins: Just like in Germany RB Leipzig have come alive in the second half and taken the game to Celtic and just like in the last fixture they’ve scored late goals to sink the hopes of the Scottish side.

It’s frustrating to watch if you’re a Celtic fan but the team is still just short of Champions League quality.

GOAL! Celtic 0-2 RB Leipzig (Forsberg, 84’)⚽️

84 mins: It’s two and Celtic are heading out of the Champions League!

A simple ball comes over the top to Timo Werner who brings the ball down inside the box before holding it up and slipping it to substitute Emil Forsberg.

He’s swarmed by defenders but lets the ball roll across his body and poking a shot into the far bottom corner!
