Manchester City's opening Champions League group game with Borussia Monchengladbach has been called off.

Heavy rain in the area has forced the officials to postpone the match.

UEFA rules state the fixture can be rearranged for tomorrow if both sides agree and ultimately that is what will happen with the game now taking place on Wednesday night.

Club announcement: Tonight’s #UCL match between #mcfc and @borussia_en has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions. #cityvbmg
