Luis Enrique pleased with Borussia Monchengladbach success

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique hails his team's 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach in Wednesday's Champions League clash.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has revealed his delight after Wednesday's 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach took the Spanish champions onto six points in Group C.

The La Liga side trailed at the interval courtesy of a strike from Thorgan Hazard, but Arda Turan equalised in the 65th minute, before Gerard Pique scored the away side's winner 16 minutes from time.

Enrique has insisted that his team want to top a group that also includes Manchester City, but the Spanish coach is not currently obsessing over the idea.

"It's clear that this group will be very tight because there are no weak teams. We're doing our homework. Our objective to be first in the group, but we're not thinking about it yet," Enrique told reporters.

"I'm delighted with Arda Turan. He's proving the level we all know him to be at this season and helping the team a lot, but it was something we knew when we signed him.

"I sincerely believe the victory was fair. It wasn't easy to win here because I want to remember that they went 18 straight games without losing [at home], with 11 straight wins, so you can see how difficult it is to win here."

Barcelona will return to league action with a trip to Celta Vigo on Sunday night.
