Atletico Madrid are 2012 Super Cup Champions

A first-half hat-trick from striker Falcao sealed Chelsea’s fate in a game where they never really figured.

Atletico were compelling from the beginning and apart from a brief flurry towards the end following a Gary Cahil goal, Chelsea were simply outclassed.

The score was 4-1 – but it could have been far more if you consider that this Spanish side hit the woodwork four times.

So, how good is that striker called Radamel Falcao – on the evidence of this, and the fact that he had scored a hat-trick earlier in the week against Athletic Bilbao, very, very good indeed.
