Barcelona's Brazilian forward Neymar

Brazil star Neymar became the Champions League's joint top scorer on Saturda by scoring Barcelona's final goal in their 3-1 win over Juventus.

Neymar, who has scored 39 goals in all competitions this season, joins Lionel Messi and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo as the competition's joint top-scorers with 10 goals in 2014/15.

The 23-year-old finished his second season at Barca with victory in his first Champions League final as the Catalan giants emulated their 2009 feat of winning the treble of European, league and cup titles.

It was Barcelona's fifth European crown and Neymar sealed the victory in the 97th minute when he fired home Pedro Rodriguez's final pass.

Before the match, Neymar described the Berlin final as the most important of his career and said he had dreamed of scoring in the Champions League's showcase finale as a child.

An early goal by Barca's Ivan Rakitic was cancelled out by Juventus' Spanish striker Alvaro Morata. Suarez put the game beyond the Italian champions with a 68th minute strike before Neymar added the third with the last kick of the game.

Between them Messi, Suarez and Neymar have scored a record 122 goals between them this season.
