Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Barcelona, 2016 UEFA Champions League: Tactical Preview

Barcelona's first away match of the European season is a trip to Germany for the second match in the UEFA Champions League group stage, on Wednesday at Borussia-Park against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The Blaugrana had an amazing start to the European Cup thanks to a fantastic 7-0 victory over Scottish champions Celtic, with the Catalan giants putting on a 90-minute masterpiece, dominating the opposition and scoring lots and lots of goals. It was a true spectacle from the best team in the world, but it won't be as easy against Gladbach.

First of all, Borussia is a better side with more high-quality players, and that alone brings more danger to a Barça defense which was barely troubled by the Hoops' attackers two weeks ago.
