First goal for Los Rojiblancos
Fernando Torres scored his first offical goal for the Atlético Madrid first team on 3 June 2001. The rojibllanco striker, who came on to replace Kiko, scored an 80th-minute header to give Atlético all three points at the Carlos Belmonte Stadium. That same season, Atlético, playing in Spain's second division, narrowly missed out on promotion.
A dream
Torres, who is yet to renew his contract at the club, which would see him play Atlético's new Wanda Metropolitano stadium, recalled the moment on his Instagram account: "First goal as a professional, the only one I dreamed about. All the rest are a present #forzaatleti", he wrote.
A few more
Since that day, 'El Niño' has scored a further 104 in the Atlético shirt, the last two of those in the farewell match at the Vicente Calderón against Athletic Club.
