"A goal from Tarín and a brace from Munir saw Barcelona beat Benfica to win the inaugural UEFA Youth League (youth Champions League). The kids from La Masía showed their potential, following FIFA's ban on the club for breaching transfer rules regarding the signing of their academy players.
The Barcelona team, coached by Jordi Vinyols demonstrated their class in the tournament created by UEFA just this season, in which the Under-18 teams of the clubs competing in the Champions League play each other in a group stage and subsequent knockout ties.
Barça, led by Adama Traoré beat a Benfica side that had thrashed Real Madrid in the semi-finals. The Catalans took an early lead in the game when Munir played his way to the by-line and found space to shoot. The Portuguese keeper, Graca parried his shot, but Tarín was on hand to tap the ball home (1-0, 9th min).
Adama played a big part in Barça's second goal of the game with some outstanding football that combined speed, strength and precision. His final ball was turned in by Munir (2-0, 33rd min). (Marca)"
