How Twitter reacted to Barcelona’s Champions League triumph

In the end, it was Barcelona that claimed a treble, as they eased to a 3-1 win over Juventus in the Champions League final to cap a momentous season for Luis Enrique and the Nou Camp club.

Naturally for such a huge sporting event, Twitter was ablaze throughout the encounter with sarcastic comments, vines and general musings.

Below is some of the best clippings from the evening:

The escalators taking players down from the changing room to pitchside were the early attraction of the night, with first Dani Alves taking them on, then Stephan Lichtsteiner:

Think Lichtsteiner coming down the escalator was good? Check this out from Dani Alves. Hilarious. #UCLfinal https://t.co/qlUXFgGBfc

Once the game got underway, Barca made a beautifully quick start – scoring inside the opening five minutes in a move that involved everyone:

For some, it was just nice to see somebody else getting in on the action:

1 – Ivan Rakitic’ goal was the first Barcelona goal from open play without a Messi, Suárez or Neymar goal/assist since February 28. Variety.

From then on, Gigi Buffon kept his side in it with some age-defying goalkeeping:

While Buffon flung himself around, Arturo Vidal flung himself into Barcelona players, with heavy challenge after heavy challenge:

Juve got back into it with an equalizer from Morata, whose exploits in the latter stages of the competition haven’t gone unnoticed:

Luis Suarez and Neymar both found the net to put the game beyond the Italians, however, leading the Spanish giants to celebrate a momentous win, wherever they were:
