Welcome back, Stephan.

Juventus right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner, making his return to the pitch after missing upward of a month due to a cardiac condition that ultimately required minor surgery, marked his comeback in style in Tuesday's Champions League match against Borussia Monchengladbach.

With his team trailing 1-0 and being tormented by the German side, Lichtsteiner met a gorgeous pass from Paul Pogba and fired a volley off the far post and into the goal, bringing the Italian club level against the run of play.
