Pep goes for everything: City in the quarter after 0: 2 over Gladbach

Champions League 20-21

Game board

Outstanding Actor


Kevin de Bruyne, Score: 8
The Belgian scored a goal that was simply rare in his beauty and beyond that, was involved in almost all of the Blues’ attacks

The disappointing actor


Lars Stindel, Score: 4
The captain, from whom a little more is expected, has disappeared for most of the game

Manchester City did not stop and continued tonight (Tuesday) in the wonderful season in the European arena as well when they defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 0: 2 (0: 4 in the sum of the two games) at the Puskas Arena in Hungary and got the ticket to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

With or without an imaginary striker, the Blues who until recently held an incredible streak of 21 wins in all competitions, continued with great ability in this contest as well and presented fine football that proved they are worthy candidates to go by the end of the year at the most prestigious factory on the continent.

On the other hand, the Germans who are in just awful shape recorded a seventh consecutive loss in all competitions and failed to stop the negative snowball. Now, they will be able to rest from the European arena and try to correct the unstable season in the local league, where they are in 10th place.

It started as early as the 13th minute, Kevin de Bruyne shelling a goal from the films when he kicked a ‘weak’ left foot with a ball to the crossbar and inside, 5 minutes later, Ilkai Gondwan, Pep’s outstanding midfielder doubled from Phil Foden’s cook (18). In the second half the trend was the same, the Citizens dominated most parts of the game but had a hard time capturing the third and settled for 0: 2 over the Germans.
