Hansi Flick's side were unbeaten until facing European champions PSG on Oct 20, but lost 4-2 in Paris before a 2-1 Clasico defeat at home on Oct 25 by Madrid.

Spanish title holders Barcelona last won the Champions League in 2015 and questions remain about their ability on the biggest occasions.

"I don't think they're above (us). We have to take responsibility for both losses because they're the two biggest games we played so far this season and we lost, but I don't think they're above us," Gordon told reporters.
