TORRES’ GOAL IS TO SINK UNITED
Fernando Torres feels he is edging back to the peak of his extraordinary powers, as he revealed that he is dreaming of scoring against Manchester United in the Champions League final this season.
Liverpool striker Torres says he still has room for improvement despite embarking on another goalscoring spree with two goals in each of his last two appearances. Torres has exploded into life following a rare lull in his fortunes which stretched six games – one he claims was due to his exertions last season when he helped Spain win Euro 2008 after a debut campaign at Anfield.He is currently joint top of the Premier League scoring charts with five goals, having finished with 33 last season. He said: “I don’t know exactly what my longest run is without a goal, but it’s definitely longer than six games.
“At Atletico Madrid it was sometimes difficult for me. During my first year we finished mid-table and it was tough to score, so I went a long time without doing so. “Here it is different because this is a really big club. We are challenging at the top of the table and competing for trophies, so six games is too many. I hope that was my worst run without scoring for Liverpool. I don’t want to go that long again.
Torres, 24, followed up a double in the Merseyside derby win over Everton with two more strikes in Liverpool’s fightback against Manchester City on Sunday. But it is against Manchester United that he yearns to open his account, having failed to find the net against Sir Alex Ferguson’s side since coming to England.
He was a non-playing substitute for Liverpool’s first league win over United under manager Rafa Benitez last month as he protected a hamstring injury, but is eyeing a winning goal against United in the Champions League final in Rome in May. “Every player wants to score against their biggest rivals,” he said. “It matters so much to the fans and I think it would mean even more to them if I scored against Manchester United.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance so far this season. Hopefully I’ll have an opportunity to do so when we play at Old Trafford after Christmas, or maybe in the Cup – or the Champions League final.

Why don't you talk about it if and when Liverpool makes it to the finals Torres? Kou Chu Kwang Yan won't do you any good. You might score and L'pool loses 2-1.
