Atletico crashed out of the competition following a 4-2 aggregate defeat.
Although Diego Simeone’s men went into the second leg with a three-goal deficit, they managed to score twice in the opening 16 minutes. But their hopes of a comeback were ended, when Isco pulled one back before the break, meaning Atletico had to score three more goals to win.
As a result the game began to get more physical and one clash that caught the attention of the TV cameras, was the one that took place between Torres and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Marca claims Torres asked the Real star: “What’s wrong? Clown,” before Ronaldo then replied: “Go home, idiot,” suggesting the tie was over for Atletico.
At this point the referee got between the two players and that’s when the Portuguese smiled back at his rival.
Torres then apparently concluded the verbal exchange, which took place just before half time, with the response: “Son of a b****”.
