Atlético Madrid made sure of the place in the knock-out stage after beating Copenhagen 0-2. Cléber and Motta both tested Christiansen before Simao picked up a return pass from Agüero to open the scoring in the twentieth minute. But the Danish side fought back before the break, with Allback in particular going close.

A few minutes after the restart Agüero brought a good save out of Christiansen, and soon afterwards the Argentinian striker ran on to Motta's ball out of midfield to round the local keeper and score. After that the Spanish side controlled the game, and Abbiati was only really put to work by a long shot from Kvist.

A good result, and the next objective is to beat Panathinaikos in the last game to top the group and avoid having to a play a side dropping down from the Champions League.
