Torres, back at Atletico on loan after an erratic stint at Chelsea, lashed a first-time effort high into the net past Real goalkeeper Keylor Navas to put Atletico 1-0 ahead on the night and 3-0 on aggregate.

The 30-year-old had never scored against Real at their Bernabeu stadium and his strike put Atletico closer to a place in the quarter-finals, where they will almost certainly meet record winners Barcelona.

Barca take a 5-0 lead to La Liga rivals Elche in their second leg later on Thursday.
