http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 continued his excellent goal scoring form in 2011/12 season as Los Rojiblancos ran rampant against Athletic Bilbao in the UEFA Europa League final in Bucharest.
Romanians were the proud hosts of the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League final that pit together Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. It was the outfit from the Spanish capital that earned the continental honours and a place in the next edition
of European Super Cup.
Colombian international, Radamel Falcao, was the hero for Los Rojiblancos in Bucharest as he hit the back of the net twice within 35 minutes to give http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Simeone’s team breathing space. It was left to the boots of loanee Diego who secured the three points
on offer with a late goal.
Atletico Madrid captain, Antonio Lopez, was understandably happy with their performance against a tough La Liga side and claimed afterwards that they fully deserve the Europa League title.
Lopez watched the entire match from the substitutes bench, dedicated their title to Atleti faithful and stated that he is now looking forward to the celebrations in Madrid.
"The fans and players deserve this title," the defender enthused. "We put in a performance worthy of a final and we are so happy.”
"We're now looking forward to joining our fans for the celebrations back in Madrid."
While Antonio Lopez managed to hold on to his emotions, Real Madrid academy graduate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juanfran-c19849, who now plays his trade for Atletico Madrid, failed to do so. The teary eyed right-back dedicated the win to his family, especially his late father who passed
away during the course of the campaign.
The 27-year-old affirmed his love for the club as he pointed towards the words his young son has in his knowledge, ‘mama’ and ‘Atleti’.
"My baby son http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 is here with me; the only words he knows are 'mama' and 'Atleti'."
"I dedicate this win to my family and to my dad, who passed away last year. I know he's up there looking down on us celebrating now," Juanfran commented.
Diego Simeone has worked wonders at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon since taking over in December, earning continental honours while also bringing Atletico to brink of UEFA Champions League qualification.
