A confident Barcelona look to pick up where they left off on Monday with Real Valladolid visiting the Nou Camp.
It was a fruitful international break for many of the Barca players, with Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, and Pedri, in particular, putting in strong performances.
May the good form continue. All hands on deck will be needed going forward.
The La Liga trophy is in sight and it’s a three-way competition in one of the most competitive races in recent history.
After Nico Elvedi put the hosts ahead early on, a quickfire Erling Haaland brace turned things around, only for Elvedi to notch his second to make it 2-2 after 32 minutes.
Ramy Bensebaini and Marcus Thuram then added second-half efforts for Monchengladbach as they secured a fourth win in five games.
In Serie A, a stoppage-time Simone Zaza goal secured relegation battlers Torino a 2-2 draw at Benevento in their first match under Davide Nicola.

The home side were 2-0 up through a Nicolas Viola penalty and a strike from Gianluca Lapadula before Zaza reduced the deficit with a header, then drew things level late on.
