Atletico Madrid celebrate with the Europa League trophy (AP Images)
Congratulations to Atletico Madrid, who beat Athletic Bilbao to win the 2012 Europa League final in an all La Liga affair. They won their second Europa league title in 3 seasons behind two goals from Radamel Falcao, who also scored for Porto in their win of the Europa League final last year.
Bilbao had a great run in the tournament, but saw it ended at the hands of their La Liga rivals, who won 12 matches in the competition. As for Atletico, they've failed to hold on to strikers like Diego Forlan and Sergio Aguero the last couple of seasons, it will be interesting to see what interest Falcao attracts now after his performance.
They'll compete for the 2012 UEFA Super Cup against the winner of the Champions League final.
