Gladbach's U17 is fighting for the championship title against RB Leipzig!
Today, June 15, 2025, Borussia Mönchengladbach's U17s will fight for the German championship against RB Leipzig in the final. The game will take place at Borussia Park, where 10,950 spectators have already gathered to support the young foals. This number of spectators is a new record for the U17 Championship, which underlines the great importance of the game. Gladbach previously won impressively 3-1 against FC Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, as dfb.de reports.
Today's final is special for Borussia Mönchengladbach as it marks their first appearance in the final since 1981. In the semi-finals, Gladbach caused a stir when they came from behind in an exciting game. After the early 0-1 by Wisdom Mike in the 37th minute, Wael Mohya equalized just before halftime in the 42nd minute. Niko Horvat turned the game around in stoppage time in the first half and Mohya secured the win with a late goal in the 90th+3 minute.
Gameplay in detail
In today's game, Gladbach started scoring early: In the 8th minute, Mohya made it 1-0 after a precise pass from Nguefack. Coach Uwe Kamps' boys are defensively stable and also set an offensive tone. They had their first big chance in the 6th minute when Mohya narrowly missed the left post. They led 1-0 at halftime.
The second half will be marked by a few important events. Gladbach's keeper Trippel saved a header in the 33rd minute and another chance from Leipzig in the 41st minute. The lineups of both teams were published in advance:
| Gladbach | RB Leipzig |

The tension remains until the end, because other events during the game such as a controversial situation in the Gladbach penalty area and a missed hand penalty by Mathieu Nguefack in the 89th minute show the intensity of this competition. A draw after normal time could result in extra time and possibly a penalty shootout, increasing the pressure for both teams.
With this performance, Borussia Mönchengladbach shows that they are ready to face the competition and overcome the final hurdle to the title. The pride and support of the fans is clearly noticeable, as gladbachlive.de notes. Whether the young foals can make history today remains to be seen.
