WORLD CUP ROSSONERI: FERNANDO TORRES (AC Milan)

Spain playing in the round of 16 against Morocco: let's remember a 2010 World Cup clash with the former Rossoneri.

After his first experiences at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup, in fact, Fernando was part of that unrepeatable cycle of triumphs for Spain, European champions in 2008 and 2012 as well as World champions in 2010. That same year El Niño made his debut with the Spanish national team - in a friendly against Portugal - and a few months later, in April 2004, came his first goal against Italy. His is a career marked by goals: many, but not always as many as the predictions suggested at the beginning of his career, after a remarkable development in Atlético Madrid's youth academy.
