UEFA Europa League finalToday Atletico vs Athletic 20:30 SS3BUCHAREST – With potent attacking talent in abundance on both sides, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao should serve up a Europa League final to remember on Wednesday and remind the continent that Spain is not just about Real Madrid or Barcelona.The 2010 champions Atletico have won 11 successive matches to reach the final while fearless Athletic, who only field players of Basque origin, have lit up the competition under eccentric Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa with their possession-based style that has drawn comparisons with Barca.Athletic made the rest of Europe take notice when they beat Manchester United home and away in the last 16, then accounted for Schalke 04 in the quarter-finals with an attacking intensity that the Bundesliga side, like United before them, could not handle.Powerful centre forward Fernando Llorente’s physical presence is sure to cause problems for an Atletico defence that is vulnerable in the air, particularly at set pieces, while versatile attacking midfielder Iker Muniain, only 19 and attracting the attention of bigger clubs, pulls the strings.If Atletico pay too much attention to Muniain and Llorente, then they risk being punished by the equally talented Ibai Gomez, Markel Susaeta and Javi Martinez."We will try to play naturally, with a lack of inhibition, because this will bring us closer to a victory,” said Bielsa, who took the helm at the north-coast club at the beginning of the season.Improved steadilyAtletico, who have improved steadily under their former player and Argentina captain Diego Simeone since he took over in December, also boast a potent strikeforce in summer signings Adrian Lopez and Colombian Radamel Falcao, who hit the winner for Porto in last year’s final.After comfortably winning their group following a journey that began in the third qualifying round back in July, Atletico under Simeone have knocked out Lazio, Besiktas, Hanover 96 and La Liga rivals Valencia."The sides are very evenly matched. I haven´t spoken to Bielsa but I have a great admiration for him,” Simeone said.Simeone and Bielsa know each other well, with Simeone playing the last 30 of his 106 international appearances during Bielsa’s six-year run at the helm between 1998 and 2004.Athletic have never won a European trophy, their only previous final coming in 1977 when they lost the UEFA Cup showpiece match to Juventus.Each side has a win apiece in their clashes in La Liga this season. Llorente scored twice in a 3-0 home win for Athletic in October but Falcao’s double secured Atletico a 2-1 victory at their Calderon home in March.The last time two Spanish teams contested the final of the competition, formerly known as the UEFA Cup, was in 2007 when Sevilla beat Espanyol on penalties after a 2-2 draw.
