#3 Football has Andres Iniesta back
Iniesta is like fine wine that only gets better with age. While it isn’t the strictest of analogies, the diminutive Spaniard continues to be Barcelona’s main lifeline in midfield. He was passing the ball around with authority and made it a nightmare for the visitors to regain possession for any length of time while the Barcelona captain was in the vicinity. He made Borussia’s Tobias Strobl and Mahmoud Dahoud look helplessly on as he skipped away with the ball repeatedly.
The presence of Andre Gomes alongside Iniesta also proved to be a great success as the two kept the ball from the opposition and provided their own teammates with some great deliveries to work with. While his 86% passing accuracy from the game is far from his best, it was definitely good enough to keep Borussia at bay.
