Torres eyes Euro glory
Fernando Torres has admitted he wants to write himself into Liverpool's rich European history by helping them win the UEFA Champions League.[LNB] The Reds take on Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday aiming to move a step closer to the final in Rome.[LNB]Torres said his part in Spain's victorious Euro 2008 campaign has given him the taste of success and he is determined to help Liverpool win Europe's biggest prize for a sixth time.[LNB]"Domestic titles are very important but to win the Champions League you are saying we are the best team in Europe," Torres told the club's official website.[LNB]Record"This club has a great record in the European Cup but now I want to be a part of that history.[LNB]"Winning the European Championship was a great thing for me and I understood what it was to win a major trophy and what I had been missing.[LNB]"On the way home from the European Championship I made a promise that I wanted more of this success with Liverpool and it does not come any bigger than the European Cup."[LNB]Meanwhile, Torres hailed the decision of Steven Gerrard to sign a new contract, labelling his team-mate as one of the best players in the world.[LNB]"Stevie has been getting a lot of praise from some of the best players in the world," added Torres.[LNB]"That is quite right because I think he is the best in the world. He is a great team player but he can also win a game on his own when maybe we are not playing so well.[LNB]"I would love to see him have a lot more success. I cannot think of a player I would rather be playing with.[LNB]"We know it is not going to be easy against Chelsea on Wednesday but both Stevie and I are happy with our form."[LNB]Staying putTorres also reiterated his own desire to stay at Anfield for the long term despite continual speculation linking him with a move away from the club.[LNB]"I have said many times the only club I would leave Atletico Madrid for was Liverpool, and nothing has changed there. They are the only two clubs that are in my heart," noted Torres.[LNB]"I have supported Liverpool since I was a boy and I intend on staying here a very long time."[LNB]
