This was the first Juve Final in 12 years, but also a return to the Olympiastadion for 2006 World Cup winners Gigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo and Andrea Barzagli. Giorgio Chiellini was out with a calf injury, but Andres Iniesta recovered from a scare to start.
It took just four minutes for the Spaniards to break through with one of their trademark passing moves. Jordi Alba and Andres Iniesta combined, pulling back for Ivan Rakitic to side-foot past Gigi Buffon from eight yards.
Arturo Vidal and Neymar fired over the bar, but the Chilean was booked after 10 minutes after a couple of late tackles.
Buffon kept it at 1-0 with a spectacular reaction save on Dani Alves, as he was heading the wrong way, but stuck out a trailing wrist and kept it strong to parry the finish at the near post.
Jordi Alba blasted off target unmarked from a Rakitic corner, but Javier Mascherano was decisive to stop Carlos Tevez tapping in a Paul Pogba assist and Alvaro Morata curled wide.
Vidal continued to dive into tackles and was really risking a second yellow card. Claudio Marchisio’s screamer skimmed the woodwork, but play had already been stopped for a Morata foul. Pogba had appeals for a Jordi Alba shove on the edge of the area waved away.
Luis Suarez’s angled drive skimmed the far post, then he stung Buffon’s gloves after a lucky ricochet. Buffon made a rare error, his pass intercepted by Neymar for a cross that was just beyond Suarez. On the stroke of half-time Marchisio’s scorcher tested Ter Stegen and Leo Bonucci cut off a Leo Messi slalom.
After the restart Barcelona went on a rapid counter five against two, but Suarez’s snapshot was brilliantly beaten away at the near bottom corner by Buffon’s outstretched hand.
The three Azulgrana strikers combined brilliantly only for Messi to turn wide under pressure from Lichtsteiner.
Juventus got back on level terms with a well-worked team move of their own. Marchisio’s back-heel flick sent Lichtsteiner down the right, Tevez turned on a sixpence to force a reaction save out of Ter Stegen, but Morata was ready to tap in the rebound. It was the Spaniard’s fifth Champions League goal in the last seven games.
Curiously, three of Juve’s previous four Euro goals came at the 57th minute and this was scored on 55. Suddenly the Bianconeri were fired up and pressuring Barcelona, as Tevez turned over from the edge of the area and Buffon was quick off his line, reading Iniesta’s through ball for Suarez. Pogba had penalty appeals for a tussle with Dani Alves.
However, just as Juve were dominating, Barcelona struck on the counter. Buffon parried the Messi strike, but only into the path of Suarez.
Neymar had the ball in the back of the net soon after, but it was disallowed because he headed it on to his wrist and the ricochet then took it beyond Buffon.
There was a strange corner, as Ter Stegen punched it on to Mascherano and it rebounded on to the roof of the net. On another hugely dangerous Barcelona counter, Jordi Alba slipped at the crucial moment, then Pogba nodded a corner just over and Roberto Pereyra didn’t get enough power to a Fernando Llorente assist.
Marchisio’s strike from distance troubled Ter Stegen and Tevez aimed a weak effort straight at the goalkeeper, but Neymar struck with a classic counter on the last kick of the game, just as Juve were pouring forward for one final chance.
Juve lost their fourth consecutive Champions League Final.
