Falcao scored his two goals in the first half, taking his goal total in this years competition to 12. He also became the first player to win successive Europa League trophies after having been in last years final with Porto, where his headed goal won the trophy for the Portuguese team.

Atletico were dominant from the kick off, showing dazzling displays of intricate link up play in Bilbao's defensive area. Falcao's first goal came in the seventh minute, when his curving shot found it's way past Bilbao keeper Gorka Iraizoz into the top corner. Atletico Madrid saw another couple of chances go astray before the half hour mark, just as Athletic Bilbao finally seemed to be getting to grips with the attacking play, but in the 34th minute, they were taken by surprise as Falcao turned defender Jon Aurtenetxe and scored from close range. The goal was his 29th Europa League goal in 29 games.

The opening 15 minutes of the second half saw the sides more evenly matched, with Madrid's Diego almost scoring and Bilbao's Inigo Perez seeing his shot tipped over the bar by the young Madrid keeper, Thibaut Courtois. Falcao saw another shot beat the keeper but rebound off the post, but it was Diego who sealed victory for Atletico with five minutes of the game remaining. After winning a tackle with Fernando Amorebieta, he saw his shot from the edge of the area hit the back of the net, leaving Atletico to celebrate winning the trophy again.

    The ticket handover process is likes something out of a spy movie. Turned out to be great fun, but if I had not used you before then I would have been convinced that the whole thing was a scam

    Simple and easy to use. No hidden fees the price quoted was the price I paid. I was kept well informed and received the necessary e-ticket within the timescale outlined. Would happily be a returning customer.

    Good seats. Arrived 20 hours before kick off. Note: you definitely have to open the RFID e-ticket to reveal the QR code and this needs to be showing when you insert the iPhone into the card reader. Very important note: open the ticket to reveal the QR code well before you get to the ground - otherwise you’ll be caught out by a lack of signal.

    Hi, after I’ve ordered the tickets didn’t get it straight away and worried a bit however, I’ve been told by the email that I can only get it on the game week and I’ve received it as I was told and it was straight forward and and happy about it and I will order more tickets in the future through live football tickets thanks.

    Was sceptical as was my first time purchasing through livefootballtickets. It all went smoothly but, received my tickets and was able to add it to my Apple wallet, no issues with entry. The only thing I can say about the ticket was the seat did have a small amount of restricted view of the field at Selhurst park, but not enough to bother me! Thanks

    Tried to buy tickets direct from Wembley Stadium's own site but it was so unnecessarily complicated and getting itself into loops - at least when using it in another country - that I gave up. Then I tried your company and it was so easy to order and purchase. There was quite a long, wait to receive the e-tickets. You do say that the tickets may not be sent until a few days before the event. But I had to book a ferry crossing as well, so it was a nervy wait, not having used your service before. But I duly received the e-tickets 3 or 4 days before the match. There was still a lingering concern it might be a scam. So as soon as the QR code on the ticket successfully scanned at the stadium turnstile I let out a relieved "Yes! Thank you" before going to enjoy the game.
