Off to Berlin now for this year’s final between Juventus and Barcelona. Both sides here chasing their own treble for the season after wrapping up their domestic leagues and cups.
Could Barcelona get any better from the Pep era? Well yes, they sort of did. They added Luis Suarez to the mix the summer of 2014 boosting their fire power to untouchable heights. ‘MSN’ Messi, Suarez and Neymar racked up a remarkable 122 goals that season.
Coming into this game Barcelona were the heavy favourites but Juventus had a cracking team themselves. A midfield four of Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba, Claudio Marchisio & Arturo Vidal had talent and creation. The pair up front was Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata who can get goals on their day. This should have been quite a game and maybe a little more even.
Well to the match and Juventus plan to keep it tight at the back was blown out of the water as Ivan Rakitic scored after only 4 minutes. This brought Juventus out on the attack and played into the Barcelona’s hands which gave us another end to end game. The Old Lady eventually leveled it up via a goal from Morata.

Barcelona retook the lead through Suarez and Juventus were unlucky not to equalise again with Ter Stegen in goal making a few questionable decisions. Neymar though finally put the Turin side out of their misery with the fourth. This was Barcelona’s 5th European Cup and secured their second treble. This was also Luis Enrique’s first season as head coach of Barcelona, and it was quite a successful one keeping up their brilliant winning mentality.
