FC Copenhagen have had a rough go of it lately.
Rivals FC Midtjylland ran away with the league title, ionic striker Dame N’Doye left the club last week and UEFA decided that no home fans would be permitted in Parken for tonight’s Europa League clash against freshly-minted Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir.
And 0-1 down after a pre-coronavirus (well, as it was kicking off really) first leg, things weren’t looking great.
But hey. No fans, no N’Doye … no problem.
