Manchester City vs Monchengladbach Champions League match postponed
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — The Champions League match between Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach has been called off following heavy rain and thunder in Manchester.
The Group C game was postponed 20 minutes before the scheduled kickoff of 2:45 p.m. Eastern time at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. City said the decision was made to call off the game because of "adverse weather conditions."
