In just under 15 minutes or so in the second half of the Champions League Final, Juventus equalized Barcelona only to see Barca take the lead right back. Both goals were on rebounds, and it was Alvaro Morata who put Juventus on the scoresheet in the 55th minute thanks to some nice footwork from Claudio Marchisio. Carlos Tevez took the shot that lead to the Morata rebound, but it was Marchisio's backheel pass that set up the run.
Then, about 13 minutes later, Barca went on the counter and Messi screamed down the pitch, twisted one defender out of his cleats, and fired a shot on goal that Gianlugi Buffon stopped, but left a juicy ball hanging in front of an open net for either of Rakitic or Luis Suarez. It was Suarez who came in and buried it to give Barca a 2-1 lead as time winds down.[FOX]
