Gladbach have lost their last six and have failed to win in their previous eight in all comps. This is a tall order to beat this City side right now. No wonder Rose suggested it would be sensational if his team were to triumph.

Florian Neuhaus: "City played with a very high line [in the first leg] and if we'd been better with the final ball in behind, there might have been more in it for us. We have to be braver in the second leg."

Oleks Zinchenko (who is on the bench tonight) on the City squad’s desire for more silverware: “Inside the dressing room, I can see the hungry eyes. Everyone is so hungry for the titles. That is what we want. At this period, right now, I would say there is around two months left of the season. The most important two months in our careers.”

Marco Rose: "When Man City have the ball, it's incredibly hard for any opponent. Their gegenpressing after losing possession is world-class and they move the ball forward very quickly. Pep has them playing almost total football."

Guardiola on Sterling: "He doesn't need to do it (Sterling tweeted to deny he’d had a disagreement with the manager after being left out v Fulham) Nothing happened. He was not selected, that's all. When you have 20 top-class players, it will always be unfair for some of them. I love them, they are the main reason why we are in the position. Raheem has been so important for the team and all of us."
