Former Chelsea and Liverpool striker, Fernando Torres of Atletico Madrid has arrived Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital for Wednesday’s GOtv MAX Cup with Super Eagles of Nigeria.

Europa League Champions had earlier confirmed the array of stars, which includes Torres in what will be his last game ever for the club, to play the Eagles in the maiden edition of the Cup competition billed for tomorrow at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.

Torres, who scored both Atletico goals on Sunday in the 2-2 draw with Eibar in their last LaLiga match of the season, is a club legend, having been named captain of the LaLiga giants at the age of 17, the youngest ever.

The team finished runners-up to Barcelona to cap an impressive season, which also saw them win the Europa League trophy just last week.
