His goal against Las Palmas introduced him to the pantheon of Atletico Madrid's top-five scorers ever, and Fernando Torres subsequently presented himself as a an eternal fighter on social media.
Despite the arrival of Diego Costa and the presence of Kevin Gameiro, the 33-year-old striker found the back of the net again.
"Our biggest weakness lies in giving up, [while] the surest way to succeed is to try," he posted.
"Once again, the limit is where you decide [it should be]!"
The aforementioned post was accompanied by a picture of himself in a ring, wearing boxing gloves, ready to kick off another fight.
Just as a fighter awaits the chance to attack his opponent, since his Atleti comeback, Torres has been regarded as a back-up striker, but whenever the opportunity has occured, he has been there to grab it.
Diego Simeone made it clear upon the player's return that his legend status wouldn't grant him a spot in the starting line-up, but the former Liverpool striker has been always there to fight for it.
Although players such as Mario Mandzukic, Raul Jimenez, Jackson Martinez, Luciano Vietto and Angel Correa have been always ahead of him in the pecking order, when he has been presented with the opportunity, he has been keen to contribute the most.
His behaviour inside and outside the dressing room has been exemplary, as El Nino embodies the Rojiblancos values of humility and combativeness.

He is a fantastic footballer, nothing less than Messi and Ronaldo but a wrong choice of moving from Liverpool to Chelsea ruined his career fron becoming a legend like them.
