22:00 Barcelona, European Champions once more. On that note, we would like to wish you all goodnight. (Photo: AP)
21:56 Proud of you, Allegri. (Photo: Juventus) 21:55 Juventus can go into next season with their heads held high. They may be the first club to lose six European Cup finals, but what a journey, beating Real Madrid in the semi-finals. 21:52 Ter-Stegen: "I can't explain what happened today, but we won three titles now. We always have to continue like we did. Awesome." 21:50 I've been Daniel Pinder, deputy editor-in-chief here at VAVEL UK. Stay with us for the trophy presentation, report and post-match comments. 21:46 Yet another trophy for Iniesta and Co, and what a tribute for Xavi, who'll lift the Champions League for the final time. Credit to Juventus though. Allegri has worked wonders for the Turin club, despite many fans against his managerial move from AC Milan. Worth noting, that's a treble for Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique, in his debut season. 21:42 THEY'VE DONE IT! Barcelona have won the 2015 Champions League! That's their fourth Champions League victory, and the trophy will be heading back to the Camp Nou after a four year absence. 90+6' That't it for Juventus now. Neymar puts the game to bed with the final kick of the game, catching Juventus on the break. GOAL! Juventus 1 - 3 Barcelona (Neymar '96) 90+2' Tevez tested ter-Stegen from distance, but the German looked comfortable, as he looks to win his first Champions League, and on home soil too! 90+1' Fourth official signals five minutes of added time. 89' Marchisio shoots from distance, bouncing just before ter-Stegen. 18-year old Kingsley Coman ready to come on for Juventus. He wasn't even born for Euro '96! 87' Pereyra almost equalised for Juventus late on, but it looks as though that's all she wrote for Juventus, as Barcelona looked to add another Champions League to their ever-growing trophy cabinet. 81' Pique, onside, blazes the ball over the crossbar. The Spaniard did everything right, until the crucial moment, putting the ball in the back of the net. Just less than 10 minutes remains in this 2015 Champions League final, Juventus - Barcelona. 21:26 Suarez gave Barcelona the lead after 68 minutes with his 25th goal of the season. (Photo: UEFA) 75' Barcelona find themselves five on three again, not for the first time tonight. Jordi Alba slips at the crucial moment, and what a moment this is. Xavi replaces Andreas Iniesta, in what will be his final game for Barcelona. 21:20 Morata scored the equaliser for Juventus after 54 minutes (Photo: UEFA) 71' Neymar has the ball in the back of the net again for Barcelona, but the referee rules it out for handball. The Brazilian heads the ball, but it hits his hand before going in. Barcelona arguing that it wasn't deliberate. 68' Messi turns and runs towards the Juventus goal, gets a shot off which is saved by Buffon, but only into the path of Suarez. The Uruguayan's first goal in five weeks, and probably his most important to date in his debut season with Barcelona. Is that enough to win them the 2015 Champions League? That's Suarez' 25th goal of the season. 67' Pogba's livid. Juventus on top. The Frenchman goes down in the box, Alves bringing the midfilder down. Tough call, especially on a night lik this. 64' This game really is going to need something special to beat one of the goalkeepers now. Pogba with a shot from 25-yards, into the midrift of ter-Stegen. What a game this is turning out to be. Will it go to extra time? Tweet us your thoughts, @VAVEL. 63' Does Iniesta have eyes in the back of his head? What a ball from the Spaniard, just a bit too far infront of Suarez. 54' Lichtsteiner carries the ball down the right-flank before finding Tevez. The forward with a nice bit of skill before his shot, stung the fingertips of the Barcelona 'keeper. Ter-Stegen, unable to hold the ball, parried the ball into the patch of Morata, who made no mistake in finding the net. A Champions League winner with Real Madrid, Morata has put Juventus right back in this game. 50' It's that trio again. Messi to Neymar one-two, before Messi played another one-two with Suarez, all in the space of 10-yards, before the Argentine fired the ball just over the cross bar. 48' What a counter-attack from Barcelona. Almost took the lead three minutes into the second-half, just as they did in the first. Rakitic carried the ball 30-yards, five on two for Barcelona with the Croatian opting for Suarez, who not for the first time, stung the hands of Buffon. 46' Barcelona restart this 2015 Champions League final, kicking from right-to-left. There's no need for Juventus to go gung-ho quite just yet, but the next goal is extremeley crucial. 20:39 Pogba, Tevez and Morata have all been the brighest sparks for Juventus. Allegri still has a goalscorer in Llorente on the bench, but other than that, their best players are out on the pitch. Tweet your predictions to us, @VAVEL. 20:34 Rakitic scored the only goal of the first-half. Grab your refreshments ready for the second. Can Juventus come back in the 2015 Champions League final? They're certainly not down and out just yet. Messi, Neymar, Suarez and Co have shown why they've scored over 100 goals this season, but it's still all to play for in the second. (Photo: UEFA) 42' Messi shows why he's one of the best ever footballers. The Argentine just invites challenges. Do Juventus double up on him, leaving Neymar and Suarez free? Or do they let Messi roam? It must be a headache for any coach about to face Barcelona. 39' Suarez nearly doubles Barcelona's lead, firing just wide of Buffon's post. Seconds later and the Uruguayan stings the palms of Buffon, after the ball fell to the forward. 33' The Champions League final is going through a quiet stage, but Evra down the left-hand side is looking promising. Vidal has won a corner as Juventus look to use their height advantage at set pieces. Pirlo takes it short, before Marchisio lofts the ball in, ter-Stegen collects. 26' Poor clearance from Evra gifts the ball to Neymar, but his effort is straight at the veteran, Buffon. 23' Barcelona again careless on their own defensive line as Morata again presented with an opportunity, which the Spaniard couldn't take. 19' Better football from Juventus in the past few minutes. Marchisio and Pogba starting to get in the game now. The latters cross was unable to find Tevez. 15' Barcelona very much on top now. For a team that are known for their defensive abilities, Alba goes unmarked at the corner, just clearing the crossbar. 12' Messi the architect so far, and what a final this has been so far. Seconds from Neymar's opportunity via Messi, Suarez finds Dani Alves open, forcing Buffon into a fine save. 10' Vidal shown a yellow card in the opening stages. Cheap card, the midfielder should have known better going in on Busquets. 7' Neymar with a half-hearted handball appeal, waved away by the referee. Seconds later and the ball was down the other end with Morata. The Spaniard found Vidal open, who fired over from 20-yards. The Chilean should have perhaps done better. 3' They may have started off nervously, but Rakitic has given Barcelona the lead, one year after leading Sevilla to Europa League glory. Neymar on the left-flank, found Iniesta, who made it look easy before finding Rakitic unmarked. 0-1 Barcelona. 2' Nervy start for Barcelona. Mascherano under no pressure at all, gifts Juventus a corner. Ball swung in found Evra unmarked, but the Frenchman couldn't connect cleanly with the ball. Juventus on top in the opening minutes. 1' Juventus kick-off from left-to-right. Evra already making himself known down the left-flank, commiting a foul in the opening minute, as Tevez gets the first shot off, albeit high and wide. 19:44 Teams are out. Hands have been shaken. We're ready for the Champions League Final 2015, are you? (Photo: UEFA) 19:35 We're now just 10 minutes away from kick-off in the 2015 Champions League final, Juventus - Barcelona (Photo: Juventus) 19:29 Are Messi, Neymar and Suárez the best trio around? Check out what our Liverpool expert, Charlie Malam thought. 19:24 Messi could win the Champions League for the fourth time tonight. He's never scored in Berlin though, can he do it tonight? 19:15 30 minutes until kick-off in the Champions League final 2015. Here's what's up for grabs. (Photo: UEFA) 19:11 A lot of people are already awarding Barcelona the Champions League. Don't write Juventus off just yet though. They've proved strong in defence and midfield, whilst Tevez and Morata have proved a good pairing in attack. 19:00 One hour to go until kick-off in Berlin. Here are the scenes back in Turin. (Photo: Juventus) 18:36 Andrea Piro has already won the Champions League twice on two occasions with AC Milan. Can he do it for the first time with Juventus - Barcelona? (Photo: Champions League) 18:32 Juventus XI: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Evra; Pirlo, Marchisio, Pogba, Vidal; Morata, Tevez. 18:30 Barcelona XI: Ter-Stegen; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Rakitić, Iniesta; Neymar, Suárez, Messi. Great excitement in the stands ahead of the 2015 Champions League Final. We're expecting team news shortly for Juventus - Barcelona. Meanwhile, the Barcelona squad are out inspecting the pitch ahead of kick-off. Former-Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder, David Beckham paid his tribute to Xavi via Instagram earlier today. (Photo: davidbeckham) A special night tonight for Xavi. His last game with Barcelona after winning eight La Liga's, three Champions Leagues, three Copa del Rey's, six Spanish Super Cups, two Club World Cups, two Super Cups and one World Cup.

VAVEL - Thinking Different Juventus and Barcelona jersey's. One of them will become special at the end of the day. Either side could complete their treble. (Photo: FootballStuff). A good omem for Barcelona? They've won their last three Champions League finals - the last one the Catalan side lost was against AC Milan in 1993/94. Juventus on the other hand have lost their last three Champions League finals since winning on penalties against Ajax in 1995/96. Speaking at the media day about comparisons with the 2009 treble winning team, Barcelona defender, Gerard Piqué said: "It's going to be a great season whatever happens. If we win this final we'll be writing history - it'll be a perfect season, like in 2009. We have enjoyed winning two trophies this season but now we're 90 minutes away from perfection. That's what we're trying to do." Juventus - Barcelona live: Massimiliano Allegri relish's the battle ahead of them as they face Barcelona. During the media day, the Juventus manager told reporters: "The team has worked calmly over this past week and we're ready, both physically and psychologically. It's a pity about Chiellini's injury, he's had a great season and was with us all the way through our Champions League journey. Thankfully, I've got Barzagli and Ogbonna available. If Andrea is fit, as it seems at the moment, he will get the nod tomorrow." Juventus - Barcelona live: Nicolò De Marchi, a Juventus fan opted to travel by foot and bike to Berlin, from Turin. The Italian was due to arrive in Berlin on Thursday, but took an extra day due to fatigue. The journey took nine days to complete. De Marchi told UEFA.com: "Once I got to Berlin, the pain disappeared." The Juventus fan was offered a free ticket to the final, after Juventus tweeted asking what they would do if they got to the final. "I said I would walk to Berlin if we managed to qualify. I was contacted and offered a chance to have a ticket for the final, which was my dream." The match last match Juventus - Barcelona live was on 22 Arpil 2003. The Turin side won 1-2 with goals from Pavel Nedved and Marcelo Zalayeta. Xavi Hernandez scored the Barcelona goal that night in Turin. The winner of the Champions League 2015 will see them complete a famous treble. Juventus have the Serie A and the Coppa Italia to their name, whilst Barcelona have won La Liga nad the Copa del Rey. Ahead of tonight’s Juventus - Barcelona live match in the Champions League 2015 final, Massimo Allegri told reporters: “To man-mark Messi is almost impossible, we just need to do a good job and work around him. But besides limiting Messi, Barca have Neymar and Luis Suarez. We have just one more game and we need to be clever and bring home the trophy. We also need to be fortunate.” The referee of Juventus - Barcelona tonight is Cüneyt Çakır (Turkey), with Bahattin Duran and Tarik Ongun being named as assistants. The fourth official tonight is Jonas Eriksson of Sweden. Tonight is the 60th Champions League final, the 23rd since it was renamed from the European Cup. The Champions League 2015 final between Juventus and Barcelona will be played at Hertha Berlin’s Olympiastadion. A capacity of 74,475, the Olympic Stadium was opened in 1936, and has hosted many finals, including the 2006 World Cup final, which saw Italy beat France on penalties. The 2015 Champions League final will be the eight time Juventus have reached this stage, most recently in the 2002/03 season, where they lost out on penalties to AC Milan. This is also Barcelona’s eight time reaching the final, with their most recent coming in the 2010/11 season, beating Manchester United 3-1, with goals from Pedo, Messi and David Villa. Carlos Tevez and Alvrao Morata are likely to lead the line for Juventus in tonight’s Champions League final 2015. Paulo Dybala is also expected to be looking on, after signing for the Champions League finalists, from Palermo. Juventus - Barcelona will give the Italian side a chance of winning a chance of winning jus their third Champions League. The Serie A champions have a vast array of talent amongst their ranks, maybe not the same as Messi, Neymar and Suarez, but potent nonetheless. “I left to win my place in the national team and many thought I was crazy but the truth is, I’m much more appreciated now I’m playing outside of Spain. When somebody packs their bags and leaves, they mature in many different ways,” said Morata. “I still cannot understand how I went from playing well for Real Madrid to sitting in the stands. I hardly had any kind of relationship with Ancelotti. I didn’t demand a starting berth, but certainly I would have expected a different kind of treatment.” Alvaro Morata will be looking to fire Juventus to further glory in his first season for the Italian side, following his €20 million move in the summer. The 22-year old has started 21 games in all competitions for Juventus this season, scoring 14 goals. Little did Morata think that he would be playing in a Champions League final after leaving Real Madrid. Juventus beat Real Madrid in their semi-final that saw them win the Spanish giants 2-3 on aggregate. Former Real Madrid striker, Alvaro Morata scored the all-important goal that took Juventus to the Champions League 2015 final. “I didn’t celebrate the goal, I was never going to,” said the Juventus forward. “It was a bittersweet and strange sensation for me. These two games have been very difficult for me. I want to thank the Madrid fans, I wish I had scored against another team. My former team-mates want us to win and they wished me the best. Just like in Turin, it was hard for me at times tonight but I had to focus my head quickly. That’s what football is like.” Speaking about Juventus’ chances in the Champions League final 2015, Del Piero said: “Anything can happen. You can’t predict games like these. The favourite might win or the roles might be reversed. I’ve lost when my team were the favourites, and I’ve won when they weren’t. That’s football and these are the games that count. Alessandro Del Piero won the Champions League with Juventus during the 1995/96 season, beating Ajax on penalties. In an interview with fcbarcelona.com, the Italian said: “As for Luis Enrique, he’s done an excellent job. The team has found brilliance and unity, with the guarantee of three great players up front who have complete freedom of expression, yet they always work for the good of the team.” Xavi on Lionel Messi: “He’s the smallest, but he’s the best at everything, even in the air. Messi is a phenomenon. I’m not about to say anything new. What Leo has been doing is amazing. He’s even the best at defending. When he puts pressure on the full-backs, he wins the ball back. He’s the best at everything, no matter what he does.” In an interview with Graham Hunter, Xavi on his long-time friend and teammate Andreas Iniesta, said: “He’s fantastic. I think he’s the most talented Spanish player of all time. He’s an amazing player, a wonderful person with a huge heart. He’s excellent at everything: the way he treats people, an example in the dressing room and on the pitch. He’s a leader. He always wants the ball, he never hides. That isn’t easy to find. Aside from all the talent, he makes a difference in all of the areas. It’s an absolute pleasure to have spent so many years playing alongside him.” “I hope this is not goodbye, but more a case of see you later,” said a tearful Xavi. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the things I would experience.” Juventus - Barcelona in the Champions League final 2015, will be Xavi Hernández’ last game for his boyhood club, before he joins Qatari side, Al-Saad on a three-year deal. The 35-year old broke down in a live TV tribute as players, managers, friends and family bid farewell to the Spanish star. The Catalan club have also announced that they have extended the contract of Pedro Rodríguez until 2019. Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool were all interested in the Spanish winger, but with a €150 million buy-out clause in place, it’s clear the 27-year old will be at the Nou Camp for the foreseeable future. Barcelona have beaten the likes of Manchester City, Paris Saint Germain and Bundesliga Champions, Bayern Munich to reach the 2015 Champions League final after finishing top of Group F with 15 points. Juventus finished second in Group A, three points behind Atletico Madrid, scoring just seven goals in the group stages, before beating Borussia Dortmund, AS Monaco and Real Madrid. Barcelona will be looking to lift their fifth European Cup, with their first coming back in 2006, beating Arsenal two goals to one, on a rainy night at the Stade de France. The big news from the Juventus camp is that Italian defender, Giorgio Chiellini will not face up against Barcelona’s Luis Suarez in the Champions League final after being ruled out through injury. The 30-year old had said he would “hug him (Suarez) happily,” following the incident at the 2014 World Cup finals. Barcelona and Juventus are both league winners in their respective leagues. Barcelona won La Liga for the 23rd time, accumulating 94 points, scoring 110 goals. Juventus, won the Serie A by a staggering 17 points, conceding just 24 goals in the process.
