Manchester City football chief Txiki Begiristain says there'll be no underestimating Borussia Monchengladbach.

City have drawn Gladbach in the Champions League round of 16.

Begiristain said, "Marcus Thuram, Denis Zakaria now is back, Ramy Bensebaini, Yann Sommer the goalkeeper – they have a good squad.

“I have to remind everyone I remember when we play away in the second game of group phase under Manuel Pellegrini when in the first half they had five one v ones against Joe Hart – Joe Hart was incredible that game – and then we won in the last minutes with the penalty of Kun [Aguero].

“And then also in the first season of Pep it was 1-1- and we suffered a lot.

“But we are talking about three, four years ago. If I talk about what I watch recently of Borussia Monchengladbach, I want to remind everyone what happened in Monchengladbach when they play against Real Madrid.

"They were 2-0 up, Madrid with zero points after two games, and Madrid scored two goals late on.

“So a very strong team, wonderful football and it's going to be really difficult."
