Borussia Monchengladbach's home clash with Manchester City will take place at the Puskas Arena due to travel restrictions in Germany.
Manchester City's away leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Borussia Monchengladbach will be played in Budapest, UEFA has confirmed.
The news comes a day after UEFA made the same decision regarding RB Leipzig's home clash with Liverpool on February 16 due to the travel restrictions on entry to Germany from areas affected by covid-19 mutations.
German citizens or residents are granted exemptions but there have been no such special arrangements made for professional athletes, meaning City's squad would not be allowed entry to the country.
UEFA regulations do allow for ties to be switched or moved to a neutral venue, and European football's governing body has confirmed the Puskas Arena will host Gladbach and City.
A statement read: "UEFA can confirm that the Champions League round of 16 first-leg match between Borussia Monchengladbach and Manchester City will now take place at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. The date of the match (24 February 2021) and kick-off time (21:00CET) will remain the same.
"UEFA would like to thank Borussia Monchengladbach and Manchester City for their close cooperation and support, as well as the Hungarian Football Federation for their assistance and agreeing to host the match in question."
The second leg is scheduled to take place on March 16 in Manchester.

It will be 7th year, this year. I started watching Chelsea in 2014. After that I just completely started supporting it. In Asian countries the games are shown mostly at midnight like 12:00 AM, 1:00 AM or even sometimes at 2:00 AM. But I still doesn't sleep to watch Chelsea's matches 😌. It's something I really love.
Respect, staying up late

In UCL, nobody should underestimate a team. Because it has a history of underdogs making wonders. 2004 was year. When Deportivo beat Milan to went to the Semis. Monaco and Porto also did wonders. Well that's what makes it the best competition ✨🌟
Yeah if they make it a super league it won’t be like that anymore, there will be no underdogs it will just be Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc. every year. The underdog stories make the champions league what it is

nowadays, I think Soccer (as Americans say) is a famous sports in the US. Mostly because now America have so many talented players playing in Europe. It's growing now.
Hopefully 🙏. The MLS I s also underrated I believe just because it’s in North America and not Europe or even Asia

Yeah people think the premier league is supreme. But they’ve only had two cl winners in the last decade. Even la liga teams like Sevilla are underestimated and in competitions like the cl you never know what will happen. Just look at Lyon and Leipzig last year for proof

They just think that they are not good enough to compete with the elites. But these teams have really talented players. People shouldn't make farmer jokes on them anymore. In these modern day, any team can be an elite team.

I don't know why people underestimate teams from Germany and France. They have a really talented squad.
