Barcelona’s coach Luis Enrique (L) celebrates at the end of their UEFA Champions League Final football match against Juventus in Berlin on Saturday.

BERLIN, June 7- Five moments that defined Barcelona’s Champions League victory over Juventus on Saturday:

— 4min: Barcelona started nervously, but Andres Iniesta crept behind the Juventus defence and Ivan Ratikic shot home a devastating early blow for the Spaniards.

— 16: The Juventus game plan seems to have been shot to pieces. And their nervy start is worsened when Arturo Vidal gets a yellow card for a second clumsy foul, on Sergio Busquets and then Neymar.

— 55: Juventus surge back. Claudio Marchisio puts a superb back heel into the box. Tevez’s shot is saved by Marc-Andre ter Stegen but his parried effort falls for Alvaro Morata who prods home the equaliser.

— 68: Juventus threaten, but Gianluigi Buffon can only parry a Lionel Messi shot and Luis Suarez brilliantly shoots home the rebound and jumps over the fence to dance behind the goal. Barcelona make a decisive break and dominate again.

— 90+7: Neymar scores the third. Pedro pushes the ball inside the Juventus box and the Brazilian genius blasts a low shot across goal into the corner. The result is in no doubt and the referee immediately ends the game. Barcelona have won their fifth title and an incredible Champions League, Spanish title and Spanish Cup treble for the second time.
