Fernando Torres was Atletico's hero turned villain as he scored and saw red while his teammates held out bravely before losing out 2-1 against Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Tuesday night.
Knowing the Catalan outfit were there for the taking following Saturday's El Clasico defeat to Real Madrid, manager Diego Simeone sent out an attacking XI as the Argentine's plan worked to perfection for the first 35 minutes. In the 25th minute, Torres slotted home from Koke's pass, while Atletico restricted Barca's star front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar to precious little.
