Even when he was class Torres wasn't that good at pens. Couldn't believe he took it. Luckily it didn't matter, but still.
Torres is actually pretty good these days but hey, let's not let facts get in the way and just remember that open goal miss back at Chelsea
Can't wait for him to score in the finals.
No he's not. He's still crap. Had a little purple patch recently in front of goal but is still a poor footballer.
Let's remember his purple patch and forget the five years of being one of the biggest jokes in footballwr.
Torres was good at pens in his first stint at Atleti. About half his goals for them back then were pens.
Apparently Gabi is their 2nd designated poenalty taker, but he bottled it yesterday and handed the ball to Torres.
Torres is absolute garbage
In his defence he wasn't the designated pen taker at Liverpool or Chelsea. But I recall him not being particularly good.
He's actually been playing well in general since Jackson Martinez got sold to China and after he finally got his 100th goal.
Only thing people are talking about is the missed penalty and forgetting that he won the penalty in the first place out of nothing but his strong running and good control to keep it from Martinez. He hardly missed a penalty after Atletico played some incredible one touch football to create the foul.
Also that through ball for Griezmann
Torres is better than Rooney and Giroud.
Trying to argue Torres isn't crap by saying he's better than two crap strikers.
I've missed you, Saint.

Anyone else feel like this season feels longer than usual?
It might just be because the whole Leicester story was repeated time and time again.
I do, especially as our games are so boring they feel like 180 mins rather than 90.
The football's been pretty disappointing all round this year.
Our highlight of the season was ending Spurs' title hopes. Pretty much sums us up.
I remember in the past when we used to effortlessly ruined it as just an added bonus.
Even seeing that loser Guardiola get exposed in the semi finals is getting slightly boring.
Ok, that part is a lie, that game was the best of the entire year.
Curious coincidence with Pep:
At Barça
------------
2010 - Inter beat Barça in the semis. Inter win CL.
2012 - Chelsea beat Barça in the semis. Chelsea win CL.
2013 - Bayern beat Barça in the semis. Bayern win CL.
At Bayern
--------------
2014 - Madrid beat Bayern in the semis. Madrid win CL.
2015 - Barça beat Bayern in the semis. Barça win CL.
2016 - Atleti beat Bayern in the semis. ???
Sorry. He wasn't their manager in 2013.
