Some win some lose






                          Last night, in the Champion League Final, saw one contest between two teams which gave their all out. This was a contest of legends of both clubs, who might never get to play in another Champion League final again.The three legends from their respective clubs are Xavi from Barcelona and Buffon and Pirlo from Juventus.
                          For Xavi it was a dream last match for Barcelona.After revealing last month that he was set to leave the club and join Qatari outfit Al-Sadd, Xavi has spent the most recent few weeks lifting the La Liga and Copa del Rey trophies, as he sealed his own and Barca's record second Treble-winning season. He ended it by lifting the Champion League trophy last night.Although he will not be apart of future Barca teams, Xavi said the club will be capable of continuing to win trophies in the coming years.



                          For, Buffon and Pirlo last night was a heartbreak.It was in Berlin that Gigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo  lifted the World Cup together in 2006. Buffon took a decision in 2006, staying with the Juventus team that had just been relegated to Serie B as a result of the Calciopoli scandal, which helped him attaining legendary status with the Juventus faithfull. He has been rewarded with four consecutive Serie A titles. But not yet a Champions League.He gave his all out making some excellent saves but in the end he could not keep the all conquering attacking trident of Barcelona at bay.


 
                         Similarly, everyone believed Pirlo's carrier to be over when Milan released him on 2011. But by joining Juventus , he gave the club a new life, which in turn rejuvenated his carrier. Since joining Juventus he has won four consecutive Serie-A title. He won Serie A Player of the Year: 2012, 2013, 2014. He complete his fairy tell at Juventus by helping them, win the Champion League. But it was not so. The picture of him crying after the final, tell everything.Whatever may happen next season one thing is sure that though Buffon and Pirlo lost the game last night, the won millions heart.
