In 244 matches, Fernando Torres scored 91 goals for Atletico Madrid, cementing himself as one of the top scorers of the team. He never managed to get into the top 10 on the team's scoring list (Ruben Cano sits in 10th with 97 tallies), but he will get a chance to break into that historical table in 2015 as he makes his big return to the club where he rose to fame.
