The reverse fixture, also staged in the Puskas Arena, was won 2-0 by City after goals from Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus.
Regardless of those ‘away’ goals, Gladbach must score twice to take the tie to extra-time tonight and keep their hopes of a place in the last eight alive.

Gladbach, meanwhile, have lost their last six fixtures across all competitions.
