Barcelona FC has won the UEFA championships cup final for the fifth time after beating Juventus 3-1 in a superb Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium.
Goals from Ivan Rakitic after four minutes, Luis Suarez in the 68th and Brazilian Neymar in stoppage time sealed the hope of the Catalans who also won La Liga and the Spanish King’s Cup.
Both teams played outstanding and attacking football in one of the great European finals and Juve pushed Barcelona all the way, briefly cancelling out Rakitic’s early strike when Alvaro Morata equalised in 55th minutes of the game.
