Dominating Manchester City defence reaches 15-year Champions League high

Pep Guardiola’s red-hot side are closing in on yet another record as their backline leads the way. Manchester City have become just the third team in Champions League history to keep seven consecutive clean sheets.

City defeated Borussia Monchengladbach 2-0 on Tuesday, sealing a 4-0 aggregate triumph in the last 16 of the competition. Speaking to BT Sport after Tuesday’s game, City goalscorer Kevin De Bruyne said: “It’s always important when you are stable as a defence and team. Obviously, it gives the whole team confidence. It’s really nice for Ederson and the defenders.”
