  • Juventus Falls to Barcellona in Champions League Published on Iitaly.Org (
    Juventus Falls to Barcellona in Champions League Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Juventus Falls to Barcellona in Champions League Alessandro Antonio Pugliese (June 06, 2015) In Berlin. Both teams were champions of their respective leagues and their domestic cups, so the winner of this match would complete the Treble, which is when a team wins three trophies in a single season. The last time an Italian team made it to the Champions League Final, Inter won the Treble in 2010. Barcelona and Juventus squared off in the UEFA Champions League Final at the Olympiastadion i The atmosphere in Berlin was fantastic and it also was in New York City. On 6 West 33rd Street at the Football Factory at Legends Pub NYC, a large crowd of Juventus fans arrived hours before kickoff, most dressed in the traditional black-and-white jerseys of La Vecchia Signora. Juventus Club NYC member Mara Gerety said “Confidence is high . this is going to be one amazing game of football.” Many thought it would be a walk in the park for Barcelona and after scoring in the 4th minute it looked like it might be just that. But Barça had to battle hard until the very end. The Spanish champions completed 15 passes in the build up to the first goal as the Brazilian Neymar played a ball to Andres Inestia who sprinted into the box and then played a square pass to Ivan Rakitic, who scored with a tap in. It was a brilliant start for the Blaugrana and it looked like a blowout could have been in the cards.
