    Making his start in Madrid, Fernando Torres truly announced himself in the Cauldron of Liverpool FC. Nicknamed El Niño as an early 20s superstar, he smashed club records, embarrassed leading centre-backs, and made a playground of the world’s most competitive division. With international success to boot, all was looking up for “The Kid” but the glory was too good to be true, and injuries looked to sideswipe the number 9. On top of this, a record-breaking transfer piled the pressure on his shoulders, and the reputation as a world-class striker took a major hit, plummeting him from phenom to flop!

    Broke my heart when he left for Chelsea and I think it broke a bit of him to as his decline was unreal.
    Had he stayed for a further six months I think the combination of him and Suarez up front, with Luis just off him, doing more of the running. Then allowing Gerrard to slot back into centre midfield could have been really interesting to watch.

    As an Atletico fan, I remember when my friends first introduced me to football when I was 14. I watched compilation videos of football skills and goals and one of those videos were of Torres and Griezmann, thats the videos that made me fall in love with Torres and ultimately Atletico.
    this video was a masterpiece, I love football because of Fernando Torres and he will always be my hero.
    My most favourite time of him was when he returned to Atletico after being on Loan from Milan.
    he was not at his best at that time, but that was the most recent time I watched him play.

    One of the best strikers of the premier league.
    LFC before Torres always had a striker problem. Crouch and Kuyt weren't bad but they didn't score enough. El Nino changed that and made the clubs fear Liverpool again.
    It's a shame some people forget how important he was for Liverpool because they didn't win any trophies. If only Liverpool had a little bit more resources at that time who knows what could have happened.
