FC Copenhagen's stand-in captain Viktor Claesson admits stopping Manchester City and the "killer" Erling Haaland is the toughest footballing task he has ever faced.

The Sweden international and his colleagues were unable to halt or even slow City at the Etihad Stadium last week, slumping to a 5-0 defeat in their first of two Champions League clashes.
