Radamel Falcao scored twice to lead Atletico Madrid to win the Europa League title with a 3-0 victory over fellow Spanish team Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday.

Falcao shot home the opener in the seventh minute of this final and then added a second in the 34th before Diego completed Atletico's win in the 85th.

Falcao topped the competition's scoring chart for the second straight year, and the Colombia striker now has 29 goals in 29 games over two seasons in the Europa League.

Atletico, which beat Fulham in the final two years ago, won its last 12 matches in this season's competition.
