Lucho's side sealed the treble in Berlin by beating Juventus

It's been five years since Barcelona won their fifth Champions League trophy. On June 6, 2015, Luis Enrique's Barça side beat Juventus in Berlin. 

Ivan Rakitic, Luis Suarez and Neymar were on target in a 3-1 win -- Alvaro Morata scored for Juve -- as the Catalans won their second ever treble. 

Since then, it's been disappointment after disappointment. KOs against Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Roma and Liverpool have followed. 

Barça hope to put things right this year if the competition resumes. They have the second leg of their last 16 tie against Napoli to come following a 1-1 draw in Italy. 

Their European nightmares began in 2016 when after beating Atletico at Camp Nou, goals from Antoine Griezmann knocked them out in the return game, while a clear penalty wasn't given for Gabi's handball. 

A year later, Barça succumbed to Juve after the remontada against Paris Saint-Germain, then, in each of the last two years, they have suffered humiliating defeats to Roma and Liverpool. 

Is Quique Setien the man to lead Barça to the top of Europe again? Barça's first triumph came in 1992 under Johan Crruyff. They won the Champions League again in 2006 under Frank Rijkaard and then twice with Pep Guardiola, before Luis Enrique's triumph five years ago to this very day.
