He won’t forget this reception at the Vicente Calderon in a hurry.

If anything can wake Fernando Torres up from his f0ur-year sleep and turn him back into the player he was at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, it’s this reception from fans of the Spanish side.

Torres rejoins Atletico officially this week on loan from AC Milan, with the hope that he can find his goalscoring touch once more and reproduce the form that turned him into the world’s most feared striker.
