Barcelona didn't waste any time in grabbing a lead over Juventus inside the opening minutes of the Champions League final.
It was a heartbreaking way for Juventus to begin their first European final match since 2003, as Barcelona's first surge into the Italian squad's box saw Ivan Rakitic convert the opening goal following a intricate sequence of passes.
Neymar orchestrated the play after his clever pass found Andres Iniesta, allowing him to draw in Juve defenders before laying off a pass near the penalty spot for an open Rakitic, who smashed his shot past a helpless Gianluigi Buffon.
