Monchengladbach to host Manchester City in Budapest due to COVID-19

Hungary has landed another prestigious Champions League fixture.

UEFA confirmed Monday that Borussia Monchengladbach’s last-16 home leg against Manchester City will be held at Budapest’s Puskas Arena on Feb. 24. The English club was barred from traveling to Germany due to a local travel ban on countries hit by new, more contagious COVID-19 variants.

Liverpool face RB Leipzig at the same venue on Feb. 16.

“UEFA would like to thank Borussia VfL 1900 Monchengladbach and Manchester City FC for their close cooperation and support, as well as the Hungarian Football Federation for their assistance and agreeing to host the match in question,” UEFA’s statement read.

The opening match of the teams’ doubleheader represents their fifth Champions League meeting. City notched three wins and one draw over the 2015-16 and 2016-17 group stages, outscoring Monchengladbach 11-4.

“If you think about it, I've never held a job in my life. I went from being an NFL player to a coach to a broadcaster. I haven't worked a day in my life.”
