BARCELONA — Barcelona completed the second leg of a possible treble Saturday by lifting the Copa del Rey, led by an unstoppable Lionel Messi, who opened and closed Barcelona’s scoring in a 3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao.
Barcelona will attempt to complete an exceptional debut season for its coach, Luis Enrique, by defeating Juventus in the final of the Champions League this Saturday in Berlin. Earlier this month, Barcelona won La Liga ahead of its archrival Real Madrid.
After the Cup victory, Enrique said his team had performed outstandingly, taking control from the start of the final.
