LUIS SUAREZ SCORES WINNING GOAL AS BARCA WINS FIFTH EUROPEAN CLUB TITLE

At Berlin:
Barcelona see off Juventus to claim fifth title
Luis Suarez (that's him celebrating) scored what proved to be the winning goal in the 68th minute on Saturday as FC Barcelona won their fifth UEFA Champions League title overall, and their fourth in the last ten years by defeating Juventus 3-1.  

Ivan Rikitic (4') and Neymar (90'+7) also scored for the Catalans.

The lone goal for The Old Lady was scored by Alvaro Morata in the 55th minute which had squared the match at 1-1.

By winning the European club title, Barca will first take on Europa League winners Sevilla in the upcoming UEFA Super Cup, then play in the semifinal round of  December's FIFA Club World Cup, set to be staged in Japan.
