Marco Rose was realistic before the game.

"We defended well in the first leg and had too little penetration forward," said the coach before the game at Sky.

Update, 8:03 p.m.:

The starting line-ups of the two teams are out!

Guardiola changes to five positions compared to the last league game and does without Agüero, Mendy and Gabriel Jesus, among others.

Rose swaps Wendt, Lazaro and Plea in comparison and starts against the England Primus with Bensebaini, Zakaria and Embolo.

The Swiss center forward Embolo only scored one goal in the current Champions League season and wants to expand this statistic today.

The Gladbachers still hope for the turnaround, a good performance against Manchester could help.

Rose also wants to continue working on the "small mistakes" against the leaders of the Premier League, which are currently negatively affecting the Gladbach game.

“I'm not one who believes in miracles.

It will be an incredibly difficult task, but a lot of things have already happened in football, ”said Borussia coach Marco Rose, whose move to Dortmund brought a lot of unrest to the club.

Gladbach against Manchester City in the live ticker: Payment due to postponement of the game!

Borussia has to transfer millions to City

As the UEFA announced, the game would have to be relocated to Budapest due to official requirements to contain the coronavirus, where the first meeting took place.

England in particular is affected by corona mutations, which means that Borussia should have been quarantined for 14 days after their return trip.

When leaving Hungary, this does not apply despite the significantly higher corona numbers.

The threat from the virus is much higher despite the relocation.

In Budapest the seven-day incidence is around 670, in Manchester 91.9 and in Mönchengladbach 46.7.

In addition, Borussia has to transfer a compensation payment of 1.5 million euros to Manchester City for the relocated game.
