Fernando Torres returned to Atletico's starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 5, playing the full 90 minutes in Diego Simeone's front line. El Nino missed plenty of openings and thus only hurt his chances of seeing more playing time.

The Spaniard's first opportunity came in the 17th minute as Jesus Gamez fired in a good cross from the right. Torres was unmarked eight yards from goal but could only fire weakly at Edgar Badia, who saved.

Five minutes later, Koke curled a free kick into the area for Torres, who rose highest to power a low header on target. Badia saved again with a dive to his right.

Torres was undone by a top save on that occasion, but he wasted a bigger chance in the 30th minute. Gamez played the role of provider again with a cross from the right. Torres was again unmarked but rolled a tame effort straight at Badia.

Those missed chances would have been enough to make him a loser in our slideshow, but Torres missed again in the 89th minute, blasting way over the bar after good build-up play by Atletico.

Torres has had many a brilliant day in Atletico's colors, but this was not one of them.
