Torres endured a torrid time in West London following his £50m switch from Liverpool to their English rivals in January 2011.
Despite a silverware-filled three seasons with Chelsea – winning the FA Cup, the Champions League and the Europa League – he scored just 20 goals in 110 league appearances.
The 31-year-old ended his career at Stamford Bridge in this season’s January transfer window, as he made his two-year loan spell with AC Milan permanent, and was then loaned out to Atletico until the end of the 2015-16 campaign.
Torres has found a new lease of life since returning to his boyhood club – with his double over Atletico’s fierce Spanish rivals Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey his highlight of the season.
