Torres had given his boyhood club the lead at the Camp Nou in the 25th minute, but 10 minutes his second yellow card turned the tide of the game.
Atletico were reduced to 10 men when the striker was dismissed after German referee Felix Brych booked him for going through the back of Sergio Busquets on the halfway line with plenty of teammates covering.
Luis Suarez then scored twice in the second half and Barcelona rallied to take an advantage in the teams' quarterfinal.
Torres said in the mixed zone after the game: "It was a complicated day. If not the worst day, probably among the worst in my career."
