Their performance this season so far has been spectacular. They won five games during the group phase, with just one draw, taking the first spot of Group C with 16 points.
An interesting stat to point out is their success at home during the tournament. After losing three games in a row between March and September 2018, they’ve won ten of the last eleven Champions League games at their home stadium, with 3.5 goal average per game. Another fun fact is that Pep Guardiola’s first match as head coach of Manchester City was against Monchengladbach, when he started back in the 2016-17 season. He knows the team very well to take them down.
Current stats indicate that City are averaging 2.17 goals scored per game, with 0.17 goals conceded. One player to keep track of is Raheem Sterling, who has 13 goals at home during the tournament, the most any player has done in the competition, either from this club or almost any other English player.
