Barcelona crowned UEFA Youth League champions

Barcelona secured the UEFA Youth League trophy on Monday after beating Portuguese outfit Benfica 3-0.

A brace from the highly-rated Munir El Haddadi and a single strike from Tarin handed the Spanish outfit the title in what is the Under-19 version of the Champions League.

Barcelona overcame Schalke 04 in the semi-finals of the competition to set up the clash with Benfica, who were surprise 4-0 winners over Real Madrid in the last-four stage.

El Haddadi was also crowned the leading scorer in the competition after netting 11 times.
