Atletico Madrid claimed their third Europa League triumph in nine years with a 3-0 victory over Marseille as Antoine Griezmann scored twice in Wednesday’s final in Lyon.

Atletico, who also won the competition in 2010 and 2012, took control as Griezmann scored in either half before Gabi’s late third ended Marseille’s hopes of becoming the first French team to win a European trophy for 22 years.
