Profile:
When Liverpool supporters assess the team Rafael Benitez left behind, they will always be grateful for Fernando Torres, who cost the club £25m and who might be worth three times that. Injuries which curtailed his season for Liverpool and briefly threatened his participation in this World Cup, ensured this would be a season full of frustration. For the second time, Liverpool were drawn to meet his beloved Atletico Madrid in European competition and for the second time he missed the game through injury. And yet Torres would still make any shortlist of the world’s greatest forwards, the speed, anticipation and skill with which he took his goal against Germany in the 2008 European Championship final sum the player up perfectly. With Steven Gerrard he is Liverpool most precious asset and once their World Cup is done the big question is whether either of them will still be at Anfield come August.
