Diego Simeone's side hit five on Saturday and the
striker believe his side are in good shape as they
prepare to face the champions at Camp Nou on
Wednesday night.
Fernando Torres believes Atletico Madrid will be facing
Barcelona in the best possible shape after Diego
Simeone's men thrashed Sporting Gijon 5-0 in La Liga
on Saturday.
The striker was key to the straightforward victory,
netting twice after coming on as a 69th-minute
substitute for Antoine Griezmann, who also struck a
double.
Atletico face champions Barcelona at Camp Nou in their
next league game on Wednesday and Torres believes it
is the best possible time to play them, with Simeone's
side on a high.
"It's good that all the players can help and also the
substitutes," he toldbeIN Sport.
"We have a positive dynamic and it is a good moment to
play against Barcelona, which is the most complicated
rival that we have played in last few years.
"It's never a good time to play at Camp Nou but it is
better to do so when you have confidence.
"We have found a good streak after those two draws
[against Alaves and Leganes] and we started well in the
Champions League [a 1-0 win over PSV]. Our
confidence is high."
