Fernando Torres scored twice as Atletico Madrid cavorted to a 5-1 Europa League whipping of Lokomotiv Moscow in Russia on Thursday to finish a resonating last-16 triumph.
Diego Simeone's side wrapped up a 8-1 win on total to book a place in Friday's quarter-last draw.
Driving 3-0 from a week ago's first leg, Angel Correa broadened the favorable position at an early stage before Maciej Rybus leveled on the night for Russian group pioneers Lokomotiv.
Be that as it may, the La Liga title challengers opened up in the second half, with Saul Niguez scoring their fifth of the tie before Torres' quickfire twofold.
The striker opened in his first European objective of the season from the punishment spot in the 65th moment, before opening home unmarked only five minutes after the fact.
Antoine Griezmann fell off the seat to round off the scoring in style, with the Frenchman dinking a flavorful heave into the far finish corner from Correa's lay-off after the Argentinian had made the shot by flicking the ball over a safeguard's head.
