"?Manchester City winger Leroy Sane has predicted that Borussia Mönchengladbach will play with 'no fear' in their opening Champions League group stage match on Tuesday evening.
The Bundesliga side will be visiting the Etihad Stadium to take on Pep Guardiola's City, and Manchester new-boy Sane believes that it will be a competitive match-up against a side who will look to attack at any given opportunity in this early European fixture.
Speaking to "?ManchesterCity.com, Sane said "Mönchengladbach are a very good team and play really good football. In truth, I enjoy watching them play.
"They play with the ball on the ground and bring it out from the defenders to the striker and they have a high press, too.

"For me, only Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund play better football in Germany "? and being from Schalke it's not good to praise to Dortmund too much!
"They will come here with no fear because they will believe they can progress from this group so they are a danger to us, but we are at home and will be ready."
The former Schalke 04 winger joined the club in the summer for £46.5m, and has gone on to make his debut in the Manchester Derby against rivals United at Old Trafford in a 2-1 victory for Guardiola's men.
Sane will now be looking to make another impact in the club's first European fixture of the season.
