4-1 and we are through to the semi final, with a Torres reunion in Madrid going to take place. We were in control of the game, and apart from a 12 minute period scare when Benfica put one back, there were not many scary moment. Athletico will be waiting and Torres will be no doubt looking forward for a reunion in his hometown.
