Luis Enrique was delighted with Barcelona's performance against Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday, but played down the suggestion Andres Iniesta's comeback has prompted his side's return to form.

Iniesta came off the bench in the Clasico over the weekend and started against the Bundesliga side in a 4-0 win as Arda Turan scored a hat trick after Lionel Messi had opened the scoring with his 10th goal in this season's Champions League.

With Iniesta injured for six weeks, Barca failed to win four of seven games, but he was pivotal against Gladbach, completing 108 of 119 passes before being withdrawn just before the hour mark.

"Statistics in football sometimes make very little sense," Luis Enrique responded when asked about Iniesta's passing numbers from the game and the significance his captain has on the team's style of play.
