GLADBACH 0-1 MAN CITY

HALF-TIME! This doesn't feel like a Champions League knockout game.

It's so easy for Manchester City. They are on course for 19 straight wins. It's up to them how many they want to win by. You get the feeling a low scoring win will be fine for Pep.

Bernardo got the only goal, heading home a perfect Cancelo cross.

46: WE ARE BACK! No changes for either team. City utterly dominant in the opening half - more of the same here?

50: Gladbach looks scared of their own shadow with the ball. Kramer has a chance to pick out the willing Laimer down the right flank in behind Cancelo but decides to turn back and slow down the play. City win the ball back.

54: BIG CHANCE! Should be 2-0. Pep won't be happy with Jesus here. Bensebani plays a quite brainless ball straight to Jesus who is away on goal. He's only got Sommer to beat but he takes an age to sort his feet out and the defenders get back to block the chance away.
 
Gabriel Jesus has now scored in all five of his #UCL appearances in the Round of 16 for #ManCity [five goals].
 
Hili goli amelokosa jesus daa kazingua sana ..

any way ,tumetawala game ,tumepoteza chance nying sana...
 
Personal player ratings for tonight’s match against Borussia Mönchengladbach:
Ederson [emoji2395].[emoji2393] - Barely anything to do all game, but maintained his concentration to keep the clean sheet with a big save right at the end
Walker [emoji2395].[emoji2393] - Used his speed to good effect going forwards and backwards
Dias [emoji2395] - Not too much defending to do, a few blocks here and there
Laporte [emoji2395] - Similarly untroubled
Cancelo [emoji2397][emoji294]️ - Key to both goals, unmarkable in his inverted full back role and even defended well too
Rodri [emoji2395].[emoji2393] - On track for another perfect display, almost cost us a goal at the end but Ederson bailed him out
B. Silva [emoji2397] - Goal, assist, ball retention and ridiculous energy. Great display
Gündogan [emoji2395].[emoji2393] - Resisted the press very well, not quite as effective in the advanced areas but didn’t need to be
Sterling [emoji2394] - Didn’t get much out of Bensebaini or Lainer, hooked early
Jesus [emoji2395] - Linked the play from deep and grabbed the second goal, missed a few though
Foden [emoji2395] - Always available for the wide switch, didn’t have his shooting boots on
Subs:
Mahrez [emoji2394].[emoji2393] - Tricky feet brought compatriot Bensebaini plenty of problems, perhaps could have scored
Torres [emoji2394] - Didn’t get on the ball very much, despite some dangerous forward runs
Agüero [emoji2394].[emoji2393] - Looked very sharp on his return, one particular flick was highly impressive
