Falcao beats Chelsea for UEFA Super Cup, Ashley Cole apologizes

Radamel Falcao picked up where he left off in the Europa League last season to win and won the UEFA Super Cup for Atletico Madrid, scoring a first-half hat trick in their 4-1 win over Chelsea. It was an abysmal performance from the Champions League winners, but Falcao -- who has led the Europa League in scoring the last two seasons in a row -- once again showed that he can beat any team all by himself.

After the match, Ashley Cole was honest about what had happened. He said on Twitter:

Wellll that was a lesson, absolute joke no fight, desire, passion, and a big reality check!!!!!!#sorrycfcfans

As nice as taking the Super Cup is for Atletico, the real win on the day was the fact that Roman Abramovich didn't buy Falcao before the transfer window shut. Of course, there's always January.
