Munich - This time last year Borussia Mönchengladbach were flying high in third place on 51 points having wowed onlookers all season with their energetic attacking play.

Their success also robbed them of two key players - Marco Reus (who left for Borussia Dortmund) and centre-back Dante (FC Bayern Munich), meaning this term was always likely to be a struggle. After some initial teething problems, the new recruits have settled in and the Foals are proving a tough nut to crack once more, with a return to European competition still very much on the cards.
