Monchengladbach: Gerard Pique said committing fewer second-half errors was the key to Barcelona’s 2-1 come-from-behind victory at Borussia Moenchengladbach on Wednesday as they proved they can win in the Champions League without injured Lionel Messi. Thorgan Hazard gave Gladbach a first-half lead. But goals in the final 25 minutes, from Arda Turan and Gerard Pique, sealed Barcelona’s second win.
“They scored with the only chance they had in the first half, but the game is 90 minutes long and they put in a huge effort,” said match-winner Pique. “They didn’t have the same legs in the second half and we made fewer mistakes in midfield. By losing possession less and them running less they had fewer counter-attacks and it was more difficult for them.
“Overall, I think we were better and it is a deserved result,” Pique added.
