Fernando Torres takes responsibility for Atletico Madrid defeat

Fernando Torres has accepted the blame for Atletico Madrid's 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League last night.

The experienced striker put Atletico 1-0 up at Camp Nou, but he was then red-carded in the 35th minute for a foul on Sergio Busquets.

The hosts made the most of their numerical advantage after the restart thanks to a Luis Suarez double - something that has forced Torres to shoulder the responsibility.
