ATLETICO GO GRIEZ LIGHTNING
EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL REPORT
ATLETICO MADRID..3 MARSEILLE ..... 0
FRANCE playmaker Dimitri Payet faces World Cup heartache after departing the Europa League final in tears during Marseille’s thrashing by Atletico Madrid. Payet (right) had been a doubtful starter because of a thigh injury and he was forced off midway through the first half, shortly after his Marseille side had gone 1-0 behind to an Antoine Griezmann strike. The France squad is announced today. It was a night of vindication for Atletico striker Diego Costa, who claimed silverware at the end of a campaign that began with him hiding out in his Brazilian hometown of Lagarto after an explosive bust-up with Chelsea manager Antonio Conte. Atletico made it 2-0 when Griezmann dinked the ball over goalkeeper Steve Mandanda and Gabi rifled home the late third.
