Spanish football giant FC Barcelona bid farewell to 2015 with the club in tremendous form and on the blink of breaking more records.
The
Catalans won the eighth 'treble' of European Cup plus domestic league.
Luis Suarez and Neymar scored second-half goals to give Barcelona a 3-1 Champions League final victory
over Juventus as the Spaniards became the first team to twice win the
European treble denying the old lady of Turin of winning a treble.
Luis
Enrique capped his first season as Barcelona's head coach by matching
Pep Guardiola's feat from the 2008/09 season when the Catalans captured
the European, Spanish league and cup titles.
Barcelona crowned their 2015 campaign as the champions of The FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2015 closed with spaniards becoming the first club to be crowned champions for a third time.
One
of the greatest moments for the team in 2015 would be Xavi’s farewell;
Xavi Hernandez came on in the final of Champions League for his final
game in the Barcelona shirt in the dying stages as he made history with a
record 151st Champions League appearance before joining Qatari side Al
Sadd.
The
match was the Midfielder’s final appearance for Barcelona after a
24-year relationship with the club. Xavi is the most successful player
in the history of Spanish football, and was quick to thank everyone
involved in making him the player he became.
An
emotional Xavi was reduced to tears on stage at his farewell event
after Andres Iniesta paid tribute to his 'captain, team-mate and friend.
Barcelona won five trophies in 2015, and in 2016 they can become the first team to defend the Champions League title.
