Atletico Madrid's players rode an open-top bus through the streets of the Spanish capital to celebrate their Europa League victory against Fulham.

The team flew in to Madrid in the morning from Hamburg, where Atletico won Wednesday's final 2-1 thanks to two goals by Diego Forlan.

The Atletico players held aloft their first major trophy in 14 years as they rode from their Calderon Stadium through central Madrid.

The celebrations are due to reach their climax in Neptuno square, where Atletico's fans traditionally congregate when their team wins a title.
