Fernando Torres brought the curtain down on his Atletico Madrid career in clinical fashion on Sunday, but Eibar spoiled the party with a 2-2 draw in the Spanish capital.

Captaining a second-string Atletico side playing just four days on from their Europa League final success against Marseille in Lyon, Torres soon cancelled out Kike Garcia's 35th-minute opener just before the break.

He rolled back the years with a fantastic run and delicate finish to score his second goal on the hour.

However, Torres' teammate Lucas Hernandez was sent off three minutes later and Atletico had to battle on with 10 men.

Eibar quickly made their numerical advantage count, with Ruben Pena hammering in a long-range strike to equalise with 20 minutes remaining.

Torres was denied a dream ending when an offside flag saw another effort ruled out and the striker finished his career for his boyhood club with 128 goals in 404 matches over two spells.
