“It’s incredible what happened to us. We almost can’t believe it, but Madrid have the players to win games and score as many goals as they get chances. He who scores wins, and it was Madrid that did the scoring. When this happens you go away with a feeling of impotence, having played a good game but coming out of it with no points and having lost 3-0 at home. We knew Madrid was a tough opponent. They have a team of winners, and great teams, winning teams make their chances count. But we can learn from defeat.”. After analysing the game questions turned to Fernando’s performance. "I thought I did well, along with the rest of the lads. The pressure’s the same as it’s always been. If no-one expected anything of me these things would pass unnoticed”. Torres spoke about Atletico de Madrid’s coming fixtures: “It’s not worth dwelling on the Madrid game. Now we’ve got to focus on the Cup tie against Lorca. Get over it as soon as possible. The Cup campaign begins on Wednesday, and then on Saturday we’re at Getafe” Finally, a journalist asked the Atleti captain about his performance in big games “I’ve never heard anybody put my performance in big games in doubt, but if they were to, I’d point them to my performances against Valencia, Barcelona or Deportivo”
