Fernando Torres struck twice to reaffirm his place in Atletico
Madrid hearts and send arch-rivals Real Madrid crashing out of the Copa
del Rey.
The former Liverpool and Chelsea striker scored his first two goals
since rejoining his boyhood club as Atleti claimed a 2-2 draw at the
Bernabeu to reach the last eight of the competition, and a meeting with
Barcelona, thanks to a 4-2 aggregate success.
Torres found the net
in the first minute of each half to end any hopes of a fightback from
the reigning world and European club champions.
Real replied to each goal with equalisers from Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo but it was not enough for the La Liga leaders.
Arda Turan posted a picture on Instagram of Torrees and his Atletico teammates celebrating in the visitor's dressing room at the Bernabeu after the match.
Ronaldo was given a rapturous reception on his first appearance at the Bernabeu since being named world player of the year as he, Toni Kroos, Sergio Ramos and James Rodriguez show off their awards before the Copa del Rey tie.
