A double from Antoine Griezman and a goal from Gabi sealed Atleti win over Marseille on Wednesday night, after a face off battle in the Olympic Lyon stadium in France.


The match started with an intense play from both sides, with Atletico finding it difficult to find footing, there were different misses from Olympic Marseille from their play makers Payet and Bouna Sarr. Atleti find the back of the net through Griezman in the 21st minute after a defensive error from the Marseille side, giving out a cheap pass. Although Atletico coach Diego simeone was sitted among the spectators, after being handed a touchline ban during the semi final stage, but this doesn't hinder his boys from wrecking havoc on Marseille.Things got worse after Dimitri Payet was taken out of play due to injury. Atletico strike two more, one from Griezman in the 49th minute from an assist from Koke and the other from Gabi in the 89th minute with Koke assisting again. This sealed the win for the Spanish team, crowning them the champions of Uefa Europa League for the third time.
