The Spanish side opened the scoring after just four
minutes, with Alvaro Morata equalising in the second half before the
Uruguayan and the Brazilian secured the win.
Barcelona completed a trophy treble in Luis Enrique's debut season in
charge as they beat Juventus 3-1 in the Champions League final in
Berlin on Saturday.
Luis Suarez produced his most crucial contribution of his short
career at Camp Nou when he restored Barca's lead 22 minutes from time to
effectively settle the game, after Alvaro Morata had cancelled out Ivan
Rakitic's early opener.
A fifth European title looked set to be a more routine ask
when Rakitic - the man to perform so capably in replacing the
soon-to-depart Xavi this term - opened the scoring in the fourth minute
with a trademark Barca goal, which saw nine of their 10 outfield players
touch the ball.
However, while Barca enjoyed the better of the first half from there -
threatening a Juve back line shorn of Giorgio Chiellini through
injury - former Real Madrid man Morata struck early in the second
period.
Having scored twice in the two-legged semi-final against his former
club, Morata was afforded a simple finish after Marc-Andre ter Stegen
had saved an initial effort from Carlos Tevez.
Suarez was the only Barca man not involved in Rakitic's opener, but
the Uruguayan provided the crucial touch in his side's second, as he
replicated Morata's finish when Lionel Messi's effort was spilled by
Gianluigi Buffon.
Neymar had a header disallowed, via a handball, as Barca sought to put the game out of sight late on.
But it proved inconsequential in the end, as the Brazilian added a
third with the last touch of the match to ensure that Luis Enrique's
side repeated the treble-winning achievement of Pep Guardiola's Barca in
his debut season of 2008-09.
The victory also provided Xavi with a successful send-off to
his career with the Catalan giants before he joins Qatari club Al Saad.
European success continues to elude Juve, meanwhile, with the Serie A
side coming up short in their attempt to win the continent's most
prized trophy for the first time since 1996 and their own treble bid.
