Barca are not just on the verge of their fifth European Cup, but are three matches away from just the second treble in the club's history.
Luis Enrique's men will seal La Liga with victory over Atletico Madrid on Sunday and also host Athletic Bilbao at the Camp Nou in the Copa del Rey final on May 30.
"It is a great stat to be in a fourth final of the Champions League in 10 years. During these years our era has been defined by results, our philosophy and I am very happy to have been part of these years.
"It looks very good at the moment, but we need to finish it off. We have done things well, but the most difficult bit is ending the season with titles."
