Fernando Torres' future with Atletico Madrid remains in doubt, but his history with the club now contains a nice round milestone.

The 31-year-old capped Atletico's 3-1 comeback win over Eibar on Saturday with his 100th tally in the red and white. It was his first goal for Atleti since Sept. 19, spanning 140 days between No. 99 and No. 100, and it made him the 11th player in club history to reach that plateau.

The bench erupted as Torres dispatched the insurance marker in stoppage time, a credit to his ties to the team of his youth. Although there is a good chance he will leave Atletico at the end of the season, he isn't thinking too much about it.

"My future is not the most important thing. Move on to next game. Hopefully finish the season winning a trophy," Torres said after the match.

Eibar had taken the lead just after halftime, but goals from Jose Gimenez and Saul set up the victory. Atletico still stands in second place in La Liga with 51 points through 21 matches.
