Barcelona clinched a fifth European champions title with a 3-1 victory over Juventus in the Champions League final in Berlin Saturday. Juventus went behind in the Olympic Stadium to a finely-worked early goal from Ivan Rakitic as Barca stamped their authority on the game. Veteran keeper Gianluigi Buffon kept the Serie A champions hanging on with saves from Dani Alves and twice from Luis Suarez, before Juve came back with a stunning equalizer 10 minutes after the break from Alvaro Morata. But with Juve enjoying their best spell, Barca struck in the 68th minute when Buffon could only parry a Lionel Messi shot and Suarez followed up to score. Barca sealed the victory in the seventh minute of stoppage time when Juve threw everything forward and were hit on the break with Neymar finishing.
