Torres struck in the early minutes of the first and second half, ending the match in a 2-2 draw.
Real Madrid's two goals were not enough, as they had a two goal deficit from the first leg encounter. They needed at least five goals if they to seal a spot in the last 8. Atletico won with a 4-2 agg score and will be facing Barcelona in the next round.
Real Madrid seems to have being distracted by the Ballon D'or , with back-to-back defeats in the build-up to the ceremony and now this latest disappointment. There star man Ronaldo has not been in top form, presumably preoccupied with the individual prize, while the team have failed to find the form that saw them rack up 22 straight wins before Christmas.
