Barca Ter Stegen: "M'gladbach is my first love"

"Borussia is my first love and it will be always like this", assured Ter Stegen, 24 years old, who joined FC Barcelona in 2014.

"It was very emotional when I left the club. I face Gladbach sooner than I thought and I am very impatient", he told the reporters.

"I had a very good time here and I've played my whole career here except the last two seasons but Barcelona was one of the random clubs I couldn't turn down. I am sure the Borussia fans can understand my decision", he added.

Despite the missing of Lionel Messi, who is injured, Barcelona is the favourite for tonight's game after their 7-0 victory against Celtic Glasgow.

Monchengladbach lost the last time 4-0 against Manchester City.
