Marseille have lost each of their past three major finals in European competition, without scoring a single goal. All have been in the Uefa Cup/Europa League.
In major European finals, French sides have now lost all five of their encounters with Spanish opposition, with Marseille accounting for the past two.
Since the beginning of the 2013-14 season, Spanish clubs have won eight of the past nine Champions League and Europa League trophies combined - Manchester United in this competition last season being the exception.
Simeone has become just the second manager to lift the Europa League on more than one occasion, after Unai Emery (3).
Koke now has five assists for Atletico in the Europa League - only Diego (8) has more for the club since the competition began in 2009-10.
Griezmann has been directly involved in 12 goals in European competition this season (eight goals, four assists).
Griezmann has been directly involved in 45% of the 94 goals (29 goals, 13 assists) that Atletico have scored in all competitions this season.
Oblak has registered seven clean sheets in European competition this season, more than any other goalkeeper in the Champions League or Europa League.
