Neither Barcelona nor Borussia Mönchengladbach have anything but pride to play for when they face off in the Champions League on Tuesday, with the former having sealed top spot in their group, and the latter in third place and Europa League football. Barça are four points clear of second-placed Manchester City, and though Borussia Mönchengladbach are only three points adrift of the English outfit, tiebreakers mean they can move no higher.

There’s nothing but pride at stake in Barça’s clash with Gladbach on Tuesday.
However, the situation will hopefully allow both sides to play with attacking abandon when they go head-to-head at Camp Nou. They’re both currently looking to recover from disappointing runs of form: Barça have won just one of their last five in all competitions, while Gladbach are winless in seven and have slipped down the Bundesliga table at an alarming rate. This game could offer them some momentary relief from the pressure.
