FIFA 18 Rheinderby: Cologne and Gladbach do virtual battle!

If Sunday's Rheinderby is as hard-fought on the pitch as it was off it - when Cologne and Borussia Mönchengladbach players simulated the game on FIFA 18 - then we're in for a treat.

To arrange who would meet in the final, both sides played an internal final. On the Cologne side, Dominique Heintz and Jonas Hector went head to head with Thomas Kessler and Leonardo Bittencourt; for Gladbach, Denis Zakaria and Michael Cuisance took on Laszlo Benes and Nico Elvedi.
