Atletico Madrid 2-0 Real Madrid: 5 talking points

Srihari

#5 Torres finally gets his Real win

Whether it was an emotional or commercial move to bring him back, Fernando Torres showed just what he can bring to the side against Real, as he made his first appearance of his second coming. The Vicente Calderon was rocking, just like it was on Sunday, when 45,000 fans came there for his homecoming. Although he didn't score a goal, there were glimpses of his movement, ability to stretch defences and the pace, that Atletico otherwise lack up front on his return to the club where he announced himself to the world.

Torres also managed to be on the winning side against Real Madrid, a feat he couldn't manage in his nine previous Madrid derbies. While he might not play every game, he showed just why he might still have a big role to play this season.
