Schubert: Rescheduled Man City game not reason for Monchengladbach loss

Borussia Monchengladbach head coach Andre Schubert has refused to blame the rescheduling of the clash with Manchester City game for his side's 4-0 defeat in the game.

The Champions League group stage fixture was originally scheduled for Tuesday night, but it was postponed to Wednesday due to heavy rain in Manchester.

Schubert said: "We've not been very happy the last two, three days.

"Everything's run against us. It's very different to three days at home - you're in a hotel, there's the stress of travelling.

"But that's not the reason we lost to Man City.|

"We couldn't stop their build-up. We didn't show quality in defence. That's why City won so clearly."

Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick while youngster Kelechi Iheanacho a late goal as City easily accounted for Gladbach at the Etihad Stadium.
