"Barcelona"!

"Barcelona" forever received the main trophy of the Champions League, winning it for the fifth time in its history

“Barcelona” forever received the main trophy of the Champions League, winning it for the fifth time in its history. In the final match in Berlin, Barcelona won 3: 1 at Juventus. This result is reported by the official website of the UEFA .

Barcelona became the second club that won the Golden Hit-trick during the season, that is, three main tournaments: the Spanish Championship, the Cup of the country and the Champions League . Earlier, Barcelona managed to achieve such an achievement in the 2008/2009 season. In addition to her, three titles for the season were won by Manchester United (1999), Inter (2010) and Bavaria (2013). The Celtic (1967), Ajax (1972) and Eindhoven (1988) also achieved this, but then the Champions League did not exist, and the title of the strongest European team was played in the Champions Cup. In any case, this series of teams looks very impressive.

The captain of Barcelona Andres Iniesta became the second player who managed to win the Champions League four times. Previously, the Dutchman Clarence Zeedorfu was able to. The trophy at the end of the victorious final was the first above his head was raised by the famous veteran, who would soon leave Barcelona, Havi Ernandes. He became the record holder of the main European Cup-this exit on the field for him became the 151st in the Champions League, and according to this indicator, Hava went around the goalkeeper of the Madrid “Real” Iker Kasilyas.

Luis Suarez

But these statistical indicators are, of course, important and significant! - They give a very approximate idea of what a vivid idea was given on a Saturday evening in Berlin Barcelona and Juventus. “Barca” was considered a favorite - in the end, on her side was the experience of performing in European competitions, and inimitable game style, and honed team interactions, and an incredible play of an attack, where the Argentine Messi, Brazilian Neymar and Uruguayan Suarez have recently been doing real football miracles. But it is not without reason that they say that in the final of the Champions League there are no weak rivals. Juventus is a club with no less vivid history and traditions, in recent years this is an obvious leader of the Italian championship, no less weak than the Spanish example. Juventus, like Barcelona, had a chance to make a “golden hat-trick”-this club won the Championship and the Spanish Cup, which only emphasizes the fact that Barca had a very worthy opponent in the final.

Both teams are not headed by the most experienced coaches - both Luis Enrique in Barca, and Massimiliano Allegri in Juve only work the first season, but each of them did not come to an empty place, because in these clubs there has long been a well -established game, a built football business, and many years of tradition. And the composition in Juventus

We have a unique selection of football players, a unique generation that brought Barcelona there are already many trophies

It is very impressive: it contains the experienced veterans Buffon and Pirlo, and talented young players, such as pogba and Morata, and Tevez and Kiellini who had recently played. That's just the latter in the “Juventus” in the final of the Champions League - and it seems that his injury was hardly the main factor in the defeat for “Juve” ...

Of course, many media outlets did not escape jokes about Kjellini and Suareza, who was not consisted of conflicting. Let me remind you that in the match Italy - Uruguay at the 2014 World Cup , Suarez bit Kiellini, was removed and disqualified , receiving the nickname "Kusarez". In the Champions League final, players announced their intentions to shake hands, but the absence of an Italian many journalists suggested that Kiellini did not forget that story and did not forgive. Be that as it may, the first goal in the 3rd minute of Barcelona scored in many ways due to the inaccuracy of the player who replaced Kiellini, which determined the course of the entire final. So the Suarez bite had very far -reaching consequences ... Many considered his appearance in Barcelona the team management error, but next to Messi and Neumar Uruguayan, having matured and wiser, became a genuine star, fostering in the team game excellently. The second goal of the Barca scored precisely he, and this goal became victorious, because Juventus missed the third ball from Neymar already at the added minutes of the game, when he rushed to recoup, practically forgetting about the defense. In a word, the “Barca” attack worked in its own way, and that Messi could not score anything, because it was after his blow, reflected by Buffon, Suarez and scored his victorious goal.

Fragment of the 2015 Champions League finals

By the way, if Messi scored Juventus, he would be the first player to be able to distinguish in the three finals of the Champions League ! This Messi could not be done, but it was unlikely that he was especially upset by this fact, in any case, the game of Barca is now impossible to imagine without him.

It makes no sense to describe in detail the finals of the Champions League 2015, the match in Berlin turned out to be too whole and too beautiful. Analysts, of course, will celebrate at least two occasions for a penalty against both rivals, and an unexcredable goal of Neymar who had played his hand, and a very tough game of many Juventus players. The Italian club, who knocked out of the semifinals not to anyone, but the Madrid Real Madrid, in a situation where it seemed that Barca had already believed in victory, was able to break the game, and in general, Juventus showed a worthy level of football. Allegry, before the match in Berlin, said that the task of Juve at the beginning of the season was to get to the quarterfinals. Thus, the club exceeded the plan, and, realizing that the task of "playing against the great team" was also successfully solved, Allegri can consider himself at least worthy of "Barcelona", which is already an achievement to today.

Well, about Barcelona, her coach said best before the final: “We have a unique selection of football players, a unique generation that brought Barcelona already a lot of trophies.” Well, Luis Enrique, as a former player of Barca, knows what he says.
