Barcelona became the first European side to complete a second treble as they defeated Juventus 3-1 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
Barca took the lead after just four minutes when Ivan Rakitic swept home from eight yards before Alvaro Morata stabbed in a rebound after the interval to draw Juve level.That lead was soon canceled out though, with Luis Suarez netting following Gianluigi Buffon’s spillage of Lionel Messi’s shot. Neymar then put the game beyond any doubt, coolly slotting past Buffon after a fine breakaway exchange with Pedro Rodriguez.
Here, Sportsmail takes you through some of the incredible facts and stats to emerge from the night.
