The far better team won.
Juventus had 20 good minutes after the break but not much more to offer (other than a foul here and there).

Amazing season by Barca, didn't expect that after last year. At the same time I didn't expect Real to do that badly lol.

It all started when Suarez found his foot tbh. I can't give much credit to Luis Enrique when MSN are having their best times as professional football players.

I agree that it was a good final.
Not spectacular but a fine football night.



I expected more from Juve, that's all

I expected them to park the bus and try to hold the 0-1 until the end. That's how lowly I think about Italian teams.

Lol, harsh.

But at the end of the game you saw how they think. "We are down 1-2 with a good 15 minutes to go, do we bring an additional offensive man? Hell no!"

True. Substitutions made little to no sense...

So fucking happy.



Pirlo was applauding heavily as Barca lifted the trophy. He is probably the only good thing about Italian football in the past ten years. Glad he had a final good season, despite the loss. Unlike Gerrard...



barcelona deserved the trophy this year. they beat off Man City, PSG, Bayern and Juve. they had the best performances in the tournament and played the most entertaining football.

Forget goals per game ratio. Vermaelen takes it when it comes to trophies per game ratio.
1 game (20 minutes), 3 trophies.

What a damn legend.

Apparently if Luis Enrique decides to leave Barca the top 2 candidates are De Boer and Koeman. Wouldn't mind either of them, but Koeman would be the best option, not only is he a good coach with a beautiful playstyle he's also a Barca legend and Cruyffs protege.
