Fernando Torres shared his happiness and thoughts after marking their final game at the Vicente Calderon with a brace in Sunday's 3-1 La Liga win over Athletic Bilbao. It was fitting for lifelong Atletico fan Torres to be on the scoresheet on what was an emotional day for all involved.

Torres netted two goals inside opening 11 minutes on Sunday and almost had a hat trick, only for an offside Antoine Griezmann to touch a goal-bound shot in the second half.

The former Spain international said the main thing was for Atletico fans to enjoy themselves ahead of the summer move to their new Wanda Metropolitano home in Madrid.

“This is a day to celebrate a lot. We are leaving the Calderon. It is a day to enjoy. It has been very emotional. The moments we have lived through have been very special, since some of us were kids. [The hat trick] almost happened, but that is not important now,” Torres said.

“The victory today honoured Atletico's spirit. We are leaving, but this is our home. Now begins the future. Life moves on, but the feelings always remain. It is a tremendous honour to have formed part of this.”

“I still feel the same pride to belong to this club,” Torres said. “I want to enjoy many more years with this team and this jersey. And above all, to thank these fans for all the support they have given me in the good moments and the bad moments. Next year we will try and do it all again.”
