Barcelona lead 5-0 on aggregate and the winner of this tie, by the way, will play Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

Swooooshh! That is the sound of us taking a digital leap from Madrid to Elche. Real Madrid may have failed to give us the comeback we perhaps craved, so maybe Elche can do just that and overturn a five-goal deficit against Barcelona?

Maybe not, but stick with us, you never know what could happen...

Drewbert:, external Happy for Torres but lets not make out he's going to win the Ballon d'Or after 2 goals. Good start but got to maintain it.

The Copa del Rey holders are out! Job done for Atletico Madrid as they beat Real on aggregate to progress.

Familiar stance from Cristiano Ronaldo as Real win a late free-kick, unfamiliar shot by the forward as he smacks it high and wide to the sound of ironic cheers from the away fans. Just about sums up Real's day.

Cheers from the away end as Atletico Madrid toy with Real, passing the ball around to wind down the clock.

Andrew Priestley:, external Real Madrid's defence is costing them again. No matter how good your attack is, you can't out-score the opposition every time.

Zavair Baakza:, external All this talk of Torres coming home but one shouldn't forget the real reason. Mr. Simeone sure knows how to rekindle talent.

There have been a few late yellow cards with Real pair Marcelo and Dani Carvajal both going into the referee's book as frustrations start to show. A few moments aside, it just has not happened for Real today.

Lots of love from you guys for Fernando Torres. If I was a) good at football and b) out of form I'd love to sign for Diego Simeone. He just seems to get the best out of his players. Are we seeing Torres back to his best?

Gareth Bale flicks Marcelo's cross over, but there was no conviction in the effort. Atletico Madrid make another change as Raul Garcia makes way and Raul Jimenez is given a run out in attack for the final few minutes.

Rory from Scotland: Although I'm a Real Madrid fan, I like what Simeone is doing with Athletico. And I'm an even bigger fan of Torres, go on El Nino.

Atletico Madrid have not conceded four goals in a game all season. Real Madrid need to find three in 13 minutes. A big ask, even more so when Real seem to have lost any zip they had now, passing the ball around lazily. Given up?

Atletico Madrid also make a change as forward Antoine Griezmann strolls off, he is in no hurry. On trots midfielder Gabi for the closing stages.

Three goals in less than 20 minutes, can Real Madrid do it? They make another change as James Rodriguez is replaced by 21-year-old forward Jese.

Gary Breed-Notley:, external Torres has always had the ability, but he needs the love from the fans. He gets that at Ath Madrid as he did at Liverpool.

Real Madrid are pawing at the Atletico Madrid defence as they try to work an opening, Marcelo eventually opting to drag a shot wide from distance. Their biggest threat looks to be from set pieces, and so it proves as Karim Benzema volleys just over from a corner.
