The "Puskás Aréna" will host the match between German club Borussia Mönchengladbach and English club Manchester City in the first leg of the Round of 16 of the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola has not managed to secure the title since taking over as head coach of the Citizens on February 1, 2016, succeeding former coach Manuel Pellegrini. Guardiola has led Manchester City in the Champions League for four seasons without winning the title, having exited in the Round of 16 against Monaco in the 2017 season and reaching the quarter-finals in 2018, 2019, and 2020, most recently losing to Olympique Lyon after a 1-3 defeat in a single match in Lisbon, Portugal last season.
Today, Manchester City will face Mönchengladbach, taking advantage of their winning streak in the Premier League, where they lead with 59 points, 10 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United with 49 points.
Pep Guardiola has successfully led Manchester City to English Premier League titles in 2018 and 2019 and is close to securing his third title this season if he continues to achieve positive results. Meanwhile, Borussia Mönchengladbach will seek to continue their strong performances in the Champions League to create an upset and victory against an opponent who is fully aware of their strength and tenacity.
The match is scheduled for 10:00 PM Mecca time and will be broadcast on beIN Sports HD2.
