Fernando Torres scored in the first minute of each half against Real Madrid

Atlético Madrid were expected to camp on a 2-0 lead in the second leg of their Copa del Rey tie against Real Madrid. They started Fernando Torres because he's a hard worker and they don't really need their forward to be a finisher. He finished anyway. In the first minute.

Ever since he left Atléti, fans wondered when Torres might come back. When he started struggling for Chelsea, they started talking about it more. Now he’s finally back, after getting to the point where no one wanted him anymore, and he’s looking like the old Fernando Torres again.

Update: He did it again in the first minute of the second half!
