The season is over, and the treble has been achieved. After lifting La Liga, and sealing the Copa del Rey trophy, the Blaugrana swept up the 2014-15 Champions League title with a 3-1 win over Juventus.
Goals from Ivan Rakitic, Luis Suarez, and a stoppage-time strike from Brazilian ace Neymar saw the Catalan giants triumph over the Seria A holders to win their 5th Champions League crown in the club’s history, their 4th in the last 10 years.

Saturday’s victory also saw Barcelona set a record, one that has never been achieved by another other team in European football history. The Spanish side became the first club in the continent ever to win the treble twice, having also achieved this feat back in 2009 under Pep Guardiola.
Barca is the THIRD club (FIRST in Europe) to win two (or more) trebles, after Al-Ahly (2006 + 2007) and Auckland City (2006, 2014 + 2015).

Luis Enrique’s crew also became the second team, the first being Inter Milan back in 1963-64, to win the Champions Cup having beaten 4 champions of the 5 major European leagues.

The club also set a record by seeing two of their strikers, Lionel Messi and Neymar, reach 10+ goals in a single Champions League campaign.
10 - Barcelona are the first team in #UCL history to see two players reach 10+ goals in a single season (Messi and Neymar). Deadly.
