With the Faroe Islands now out of most City fans' system for another year (at least!) we can all now look towards our next obstacle in the quest for fully-fledged UEFA Cup football.
A 4-0 aggregate win over EB/Streymur saw the Blues into the hat for the second qualifying round for the competition and earlier today, when faced with a choice of five trips to Scandinavia, City were paired with a Danish Superliga side.
So while you prepare your travel arrangements for the second leg, please no trawlers this time, mcfc.co.uk provide the top 10 facts about our latest European opponents - FC Midtjylland...
* Like EB/Streymur in the previous round. our opponents are a team formed as part of a merger, the two clubs in this case being Ikast FS and Herning Fremad who were brought together in 1999.
* FC Midtjylland finished second in the Danish Superliga last season, nine points behind champions Aalborg BK, who are managed by former Bolton and Arsenal manager Bruce Rioch.
* Twelve different nationalities are represented in the Midtjylland squad, amongst their ranks are players from America, Burkina Faso, New Zealand, Nigeria and Slovakia.
* Egyptian striker Mohammed Zidan, a name familiar to those who saw the Hamburg game on Saturday, is the most famous player in the club's history. As a result of his success while at the club, the number 14 shirt has been retired in his honour.
* Their nickname is Ulvene, which means the Wolves.
* They play at the SAS Arena in the Herning area of Denmark and the ground is aptly nicknamed the 'Ulvegrotten' (the Wolves' cave).
* The Arena has a 12,500 capacity and a second nickname of the Zidan Arena following the nine goals scored in the first three games played there by the now Hamburg striker.
* As of January 2006, the city of Herning itself was made up of only 44,437 people, 518 less than came to watch City beat Man United at the City of Manchester Stadium last August.
* The Wolves beat Welsh side Bangor City 10-1 on aggregate in the first qualifying round, 6-1 in Wales, before a much-changed line-up eased to a 4-0 home victory in the second leg.
* Midtjylland have financial plans in place to be able to rival the bigger names of Danish football, such as Brondby and FC Copenhagen during the years to come, and are aiming to build on their record of Superliga runners-up in 2006-07 and two-time Danish Cup runners-up.
