Laravel Redirect Back Issues

I am using Laravel 8.0 to create a web application. I have multiple pages that can only be seen if you are signed into an account. I have it setup so that once you go to the page, it uses a controller function to return the view, but before that it checks if you are logged in with a simple if statement. If you are logged in, it returns the view, else it redirects to login page. I am wanting to make it so after they login it redirects them back to the page they were trying to go before. I used return redirect()->back(); to do this, but it returns them too the login page as it thinks that is where it was before. I use a separate route and controller function to login them in via the form. If anyone could help, I would much appreciate it!
