Fernando Torres was greeted by 45,000 Atletico Madrid fans after his loan from Milan. “What have I done to deserve this?”
The striker was a flop in the Rossoneri jersey, managing two goals in six months and being dropped to the bench.
Chelsea sold him to Milan – apparently for free – so that they could loan him for 18 months to Atleti, receiving Alessio Cerci in return.
Today El Niño was presented to fans at the Vicente Calderon and 45,000 packed into the stadium to greet the returning hero.

“One day you’ll have to tell me what I’ve done to deserve such wonderful treatment,” he declared.
Torres will wear the Number 19 jersey and returns to Atleti after leaving for Liverpool in 2007.
“I want to thank everyone who made my return possible. Simeone was very important, as he put a lot of faith in me and I hope to quickly give him what he wants on the field. I can’t wait to start playing.
“There are still many things I want to win and I want to do it all here. I saw from the outside how strong this team is, the Champions of Spain, so now I aim to enjoy the experience from the inside.
“When I left seven years ago, it was necessary for me and the club. It was the most difficult decision of my career.”
