Atletico Madrid forward Fernando Torres is showing glimpses of his long-lost form. The Spanish forward scored a goal and provided an assist in Atletico’s 3-1 win over Espanyol on Saturday.
The 32-year old has been in superb form of late and has scored in his last three games for Atletico.
Some people on Twitter are even suggesting that he should be given a spot in the Spain national team for the upcoming European Championships.

Fernando Torres absolutely on fire the last few games. Nearly scored a worldie earlier, just now equalised. No red card now, hopefully.
