Jonas Wind just scored this Panenka for FC Copenhagen, in a crucial Champions League qualifier at Red Star Belgrade. In front of one of the most intimidating fan bases in Europe. He’s 20 for goodness sake. The absolute cheek of it. #ucl #fcklive

Plenty has been written about Marcelo Bielsa’s training regimes and fitness demands at Leeds United. And it’s clear to see why he sets such a high standard. Here’s RB Luke Ayling in the 89th minute, running box-to-box in 11 seconds to set up the #lufc winner. Ridiculous.

Looking back at last night, I think Neestrup has taken F.C. Copenhagen, as a competitive force in Europe, to a level beyond Ståle. There's still the discipline and commitment that Solbakken demanded but there's such a lovely flair that runs through the team now. #fcklive

Neestrup has it right here. F.C. Copenhagen may not have "deserved" to win or even draw last night but over the course of Group A the team at least deserves four points. You don't always get what you deserve. And sometimes you do. That's football. #fcklive #ucl #mufc

When Jacob Neestrup says tonight's 0-0 draw at Bayern Munich is "one of the greatest European displays in F.C. Copenhagen's history" he's not wrong. FCK have always had to strike a balance between competing at the top of the Superliga and being underdogs in the UCL.
