Torres, who announced his decision to retire in June, is all set to play his last professional match on Friday against Andres Iniesta and David Villa's Vissel Kobe in Japan.
The 35-year-old currently playing his football in Japan becomes the newest star to be named a ‘La Liga Icon' after his Spanish teammate Iker Casillas.
The 36-year-old Villa scored 59 goals in 98 appearances for Spain from 2004-17, including five goals at the 2010 World Cup as his nation won their first title.
Villa said he was drawn to Vissel by his desire to participate in a project under construction, where he could play technical, possession-based soccer.
The 31-year-old Argentine forward, who led Barcelona earlier in Iniesta's absence, would now take over as the full-time skipper.
Russia won a World Cup knockout game for the first time since the Soviet Union in 1966, defeating Spain 4-3 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 tie.
Iniesta, who scored the winning goal in the 2010 World Cup final, had already hinted this would be his final tournament with the national team.
FIFA World Cup 2018 will start from 14th June and it might be the last chance for many star players who want to achieve this ultimate glory.
After 16 years of illustrious career at FC Barcelona, Spanish legend Andres Iniesta joined Japanese club Vissel Kobe.
It was an intensely emotional ending for the players who were key members of Spain's golden generation that won two European Championships and a World Cup.
FC Barcelona mid-field maestro Andrés Iniesta, who delighted their fans for 16 years, will play his last match for the League Champions on Sunday at the Camp Nou against Real Sociedad.
Iniesta said in the press conference that it would be his last season with FC Barcelona and stated that he would decide his move at the end of the season which is not going to be in Europe.
Iniesta scored amid a brilliant performance as Barcelona crushed Sevilla 5-0 in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday, and became the first team in 85 years to win four straight Copa titles.
Iniesta spoke after playing the first hour of Barcelona's 3-0 victory over Chelsea that sent the team through to the Champions League quarterfinals on a 4-1 aggregate score.
