Budapest - Rose-Stress, no victory in four games and now Manchester City in the Champions League: From a purely objective point of view, there is not much that speaks for Borussia Mönchengladbach * on this Wednesday.
But maybe that is exactly the chance.
The foals have often proven that they can do it this season.
And often enough we have already seen that the form in the league does not have to play a role on a European Cup evening.
Despite all the problems, coach Marco Rose * swears his professionals to a "special evening with a lot of confidence, a lot of courage and a lot of passion" before the first leg of the first leg in the Champions League.
These virtues will also be necessary, because the “Skyblues” have won the last 18 games in a row and are on their way to the championship title.
Jürgen Klopp, on the other hand, cannot follow at all with Liverpool FC *.
Champions League: Gladbach - Manchester City in the live ticker - Guardiola warns of Neuhaus
A fully occupied Borussia Park would of course be worth gold in games like this - but it is currently just a dream.
Because the English are not allowed to enter, the Gladbachers have to get on the plane to Budapest for their home game.
Nevertheless, they are not without a chance there.
“We don't have to hide from Manchester either,” announced Florian Neuhaus *.
His DFB colleague Ilkay Gündogan and his coach Pep Guardiola agree with him.
The Catalan warns: "Marco Rose is an excellent coach and the team also has quality with players like Neuhaus or Kramer".
The last extremely accurate Gündogan sums up: "On a good day Gladbach is able to beat anyone".
For Marco Rose a victory would of course be balm on the soul.
"Then it will be a little funnier for me too," he smiled at the press conference.
