Having played his first game for Copenhagen on the 19 October 2022, as a starter during the Cup penalty shootout win against Hobro IK,[4] Clem made his Champions League debut less than a week later, starting the away group game to Sevilla.[5] Despite staying in the game until the last minutes, the Danish team eventually conceded a 3–0 away loss,[6] in a side with a record six teenagers starting the game.[7]
