Barcelona needed two second half goals to over come a one-goal deficit to defeat Borussia Mönchengladbach, 2-1, on Wednesday in the Champions League. With the win, Barça stay atop Group C with a full six out of six possible points. It wasn’t easy by any means, but a gritty and hard fought performance in front of a raucous Borussia-Park away crowd was enough to earn an impressive win against a good team.
Barça began the match on the front foot, putting the pressure on the hosts early. They mustered two clear-cut scoring chances in the first 10 minutes with Neymar having a shot from close range saved by Sommer and Suarez blazing a good chance over the bar.
