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. Tweet @Lastborn11 (07060428346)

C. Ronaldo Threatens To Leave Real Madrid If He’s Not Paid As High As Messi   Real Madrid’s Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, has reportedly told his bosses at the Santiago Bernabeu to pay him as much as what his arch-rival, Lionel Messi, earns at Barcelona. He threatened to leave if he was not paid as much. According to reports from Europe, the 32-year-old talisman demanded a whopping £17m pay rise that will increase his earnings at the La Liga and UEFA Champions League reigning champions to £35.5m. Reports claimed Ronaldo is frustrated by Real president, Florentino Perez’ refusal to offer him an improved contract after he was promised one when he helped Real to a La Liga and Champions League double last season. Ronaldo signed a five-year deal in November 2016 that will see him stay at the club till 2021. He has also been linked with a return to Manchester United.
