Colombian star Radamel Falcao was in top form and he curled home a wonderful opening goal within the opening seven minutes.
He then doubled their lead just after the half-hour and Atletico were well on their way to reclaiming the trophy they last won in 2010.
Bilbao pushed to get back into the game in the second-half, but to no avail as Atletico wrapped up an impressive display with Diego firing home in the final-minutes.
