Atletico Madrid striker Torres thrilled to win Europa League title

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres is delighted to have won the Europa League.

Atletico defeated Marseille 3-0 in Lyon.

Torres said: "It's a happiness that is difficult to explain, after so much time, to have this opportunity to return this team of champions. It was to realise a dream I've had since I was a kid, but above all the pride of belonging to this group that changed the history of the club. This is the beginning of something very big.

"Belonging to this group is above winning a title. They are hard-working people and humble, who understand what Atlético is all about."
