BERLIN --
There are times when Barcelona relies on casual
brilliance to pick apart the opposition and win matches.
This gripping UEFA Champions League final demanded
more than just than the collective to subdue Juventus
once and for all. This occasion required that extra
moment of brilliance.
Once again, Lionel Messi provided it.
Messi prompted Luis Suarez’s winner with a determined,
enterprising run to quell the willing Italian champions
and secure a fifth European title with a 3-1 victory at
Olympiastadion.
Ivan Rakitic opened the scoring after just four minutes
by capping off one of those compelling sequences with a
neat finish. Juventus survived the forthcoming onslaught
and summoned a tidy sequence of its own to equalize
through Alvaro Morata after the break.
Suarez tucked home the remnants of Messi’s darting run
and rasping drive after 68 minutes secure the victory.
Neymar rounded off the night with a deserved third in
second-half stoppage time to wrap this compelling final
in style.

Banks in reaction to the apex court’s directive noted that they can’t commence re-issuance of the old notes until they are directed to do so by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

One of the officials working with Access Bank who spoke on condition of anonymity said the banks would issue the old naira notes when the apex bank gives the directive and not the Supreme Court. He said, “Banks in Nigeria are heavily regulated, and we only listen to what the CBN says. Despite the ruling, we still need to hear from our regulator.” Sp...
