Europa League - Falcao inspires Atletico to Europa crown
A stunning double from the Radamel Falcao helped Atletico Madrid stun Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in Bucharest and clinch their second Europa League crown in three years.
Falcao sparked the match into life in the seventh minute with a left-footed screamer from outside the Athletic box, and he added a second before half-time for what was his 12th goal in 15 Europa League matches with an empathic finish.
The prolific Colombian striker, who was denied a hat-trick by the woodwork, secured back-to-back Europa League successes after winning the tournament with FC Porto last season with Diego adding a third late on as the 2010 champions vanquished Marcelo Bielsa’s much-lauded side.
It was a stunning victory for Diego Simeone's side, with many of the Athletic players left to shed tears after a crushing defeat ended what has been an incredible European run.
