Oh Fernando Torres, what have you done?
It was all going so well for the Atletico Madrid striker in the opening exchanges of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona.
Whenever Torres plays against Barca, more often than not, he finds the net. Tuesday night’s game was no different as he grabbed the game’s opener with a slick finish. The effort made it 11 goals against Barcelona, meaning he’s scored against them more than any other opponent.

However, El Nino’s game was over before half time as he picked up a second yellow card for an unnecessarily clumsy foul on Sergio Busquets. The referee had no option but to send him off on the 36 minute mark. Torres received his first yellow for an earlier foul on Neymar.
