FERNANDO TORRES IS set to make his Atletico Madrid debut all over again this evening against city rivals Real Madrid.
The neighbours meet in the first leg of the Copa del Rey last 16 at the Vicente Calderon (8pm Irish).
Torres was welcomed home by over 40,000 Atleti fans at his official unveiling last Sunday.
The striker, 30, spent 12 seasons coming up through the ranks at his boyhood club before leaving for Liverpool in the summer of 2007.
He returns following seven-and-a-half years away which culminated in underwhelming spells at Chelsea and AC Milan.
