Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Manchester City live stream: Watch Champions League online
By James Dudko
Borussia Monchengladbach face Manchester City at Borussia-Park on Wednesday. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
This crucial Champions League game will be broadcast on Fox Sports, and can be streamed on Fox Soccer 2Go. It’s a match City have to win to stay in contention in Group C.
The Citizens trail Barcelona by two points, but are just three ahead of Monchengladbach. Winning in Germany won’t be easy, despite City’s excellent triumph over Barca last time out.
Gladbach are a capable side, one loaded with flair in the final third. The true threat comes from cerebral Brazilian Raffael.
The supporting forward is a clever and cultured link player. His movement is also some of the most perceptive in the tournament.
Raffael’s combinations with midfield man Mahmoud Dahoud and winger Thorgan Hazard can pose any side problems. City’s worries are compounded by fitness doubts at the back. In particular, oft-injured skipper Vincent Kompany could miss out after suffering concussion, per Stuart Brennan of the Manchester Evening News.
At least City are still loaded in attack. Manager Pep Guardiola can call on forward-thinking midfielders Ilkay Gundogan and David Silva. They’ll offer fine support for striker Sergio Aguero and forward Kevin De Bruyne.

But City’s most important figure could be holding player Fernandinho. He’s been outstanding at the base of midfield this season. The 31-year-old has a vital role to play against a Gladbach team pretty handy on the break.
