After a year without Atletico Madrid title screams again champion. As in the season 2009/2010, the mattress set is devoted winner of the Europa League. The set of Simeone beat Athletic Bilbao (led by Marcelona Bielsa) with Radamel Falcao as its top player and scorer of the team and competition. Then I let the numbers of this Athletic champion.

In the group stage Atletico harvested 13 points from play 6 games, winning 4 of them, tying one (against Stade Rennais FC away) and lost another (against Udinese, also as a visitor). He finished first in their group with 11 goals for and 4 against.

From then on were all victories for all Simeone: Lazio beat in knockout phase at Besiktas in the second round at Hannover 96 in the quarterfinals, semifinals and Valencia in Athletic in the deciding.

100% efficiency in the playoffs with 22 goals scored and only 6 against, giving an average of 2.44 goals scored per match at this stage, with just 0.66 against.
