BERLIN: As Barcelona and Juventus heading Berlin to play in the Champions League Final for the eighth time on Saturday, we bring you some fun facts associated to the biggest game in club football.
The Italians [Juventus] have lost their last three finals, while the Catalans [Barcelona] have won in their last three (2006, 2009 and 2011).
No team has ever had two players score nine or more goals in the same Champions League campaign. Well, not until this season, when Messi (10) and Neymar Jr (9) did it.
Neymar is the third Barca player to score nine goals in a single edition of the Champions League. The first was Rivaldo and the second was Messi, of course. Messi is top of both the goal scoring (10) and assists (5) rankings.
Carlos Tevez is the top Juventus scorer with 7.
Ter Stegen and Buffon have kept six clean sheets in this competition, a record bettered by no other keeper.
Buffon, Pirlo and Barzagli all won the World Cup for Italy at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin in 2006.
