Barcelona has congratulated rivals Real Madrid, for successfully retaining their UEFA Champions League trophy.
No team has been able to win the title back to back since the new format was introduced in 1992, but Zinedine Zidane’s men beat Juventus 4-1 in Cardiff to break the jinx.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, matching Lionel Messi’s record of five wins. He also took his career goal record to 600 and his Champions League goals to 105.
Barcelona who lost the La Liga crown to Madrid, wrote on their official Twitter handle: “Congratulations @realmadrid for winning the trophy in Cardiff.”
Madrid will play Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup, before going head-to-head with Barca in the two-legged Supercopa in August.
