-
Fernando Torres scored his first Atletico Madrid
goals in eight years as the La Liga champions dumped holders Real Madrid out of
the Copa del Rey 4-2 on aggregate after a 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu on
Thursday.
Already
leading 2-0 from last week's first-leg, Torres stunned the hosts inside the
first minute when turning home Antoine Griezmann's pass to hand Atletico a vital
away goal.
Sergio Ramos pulled a goal back for Real, but
Griezmann and Torres repeated the trick seconds into the second-half to restore
Atletico's lead.
Fresh
from winning the third Ballon d'Or of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo ensured the home side at least
salvaged a draw on the night, but they have now failed to beat Atletico in five
meetings this season.
Atletico
will face Barcelona in the last eight after the Catalans completed an 9-0
aggregate win over Elche as goals from Jeremy Mathieu, Sergi Roberto, Pedro
Rodriguez and Adriano sealed a 4-0 victory on the night at the Martinez Valero.
