The Europa League Cup, is there a more prestigious trophy? Yes, there is, but that will be for another time. The UEFA Europa League Trophy was awarded this year to Club Atlético de Madrid in a dazzling 3-0 victory over Athletic Club de Bilbao. The match was indeed a sight to behold, Radamel Falcao finding net twice, and his teammate Diego Ribas da Cunha following up with a finesse shot in the bottom right corner of the goal.
The game started off strong for the Atlético side, with Falcao scoring beautifully against Iraizoz, beating two defenders. The possession game was rather one-sided, with Atlético dominating most of the first half, secured by another strike by Falcao. Young Radamel's second goal was by his own means, with a pull back that fooled everyone, and with no challengers, he easily buried it into the net. Athletic put up a fight, having a couple chances crushed by the mighty Thibaut Courtois.
The second half followed suit just as the first one, but the possession between the two teams was horrendous. The ball flew box-to-box, no one team having a definite control over the other. The breakthrough for for a dull second half was during the 85th minute, when a marvelous run by Diego ended with the ball past Iraizoz. The red-and-whites would cruise through the remainder of the game to win the cup for the second time in three years, a performing like the professionals that they are. It is rather a shame for Bilbao, their Cinderella story coming to a close, they did after all beat the likes of Manchester United, which was no easy feat mind you. They were able to prevail until the final match, where they hung their heads in shameful sorrow, tears streaming from their eyes because they failed to win the cup. In the end, kudos to Atlético on their win, and I tip my hat to Marcelo Bielsa for training such a talented Bilbao side.

This is well written. I would like less facts and more of your opinions in this, I understand that it is very hard to do that, but just some advice. Also, there was no word count at the end.
