Atletico scored twice in normal time to overcome a 2-0 first-leg deficit, but they were cruelly defeated in extra time. Following that Torres lost patience. In an intense exchange, the former striker was enraged by Arbeloa's behavior and allegedly threatened to 'blow his head off'.

While the former teammates-rivals took on each other at the juvenil section, at the senior section, it is Real Madrid who is currently at 2nd on La Liga just above Atleti. Merengues have a point lead over Atletico and 4 matchdays are still left. Meanwhile, Barcelona has taken the unrivaled position on the points table and has been adjudged champions of the Spanish top flight for the 27th time in history.
