Memes Run Rampant After Fernando Torres Scores in 1st Minute vs. Real Madrid

Only moments after Cristiano Ronaldo was hailed as the best player on the planet for his Ballon d'Or win at the Bernabeu, perhaps the most ridiculed player on the planet struck. 

Fernando Torres (!) scored just 45 seconds into the second leg of the Copa del Rey clash between hated rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, marking his first Atletico goal since returning to the club. He secured a brace early on in the second half, scoring 33 seconds after kickoff. 

Since Torres hasn't really found his goalscoring form since moving from Liverpool to Chelsea in 2011, memes ran rampant after El Nino found his shooting touch and put Atletico on the verge of knocking their city rivals out of the Copa del Rey.
