Torres out to break hoodoo
Fernando Torres has vowed to break his Santiago Bernabeu hoodoo when Liverpool take on Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.[LNB] The former Atletico Madrid striker comes up against his old arch-rivals after being drawn against them in the UEFA Champions League.[LNB]Torres only managed one goal in more than a dozen Madrid derbies and never left the Bernabeu on a winning team.[LNB]That feat was not for the want of trying and Torres insists he is out to bring joy to Atletico fans by getting one over their rivals Real.[LNB]"I have no feelings for Real Madrid," stated Torres. "I played for Atletico so know that if Liverpool beat Real, it will make lots of Atletico fans happy as well.[LNB]No celebrations"I couldn't celebrate if I had scored against Atletico. I would have shown respect for my former club where I spent 12 years, the club that helped me become the person I am today.[LNB]"But if I score against Real Madrid, I will celebrate for sure. It would be great for me to get my first goals in Europe this season against Madrid.[LNB]"I feel confidence is coming back at the right time and I am sure that goals will follow. I'm looking forward to going back to Madrid, playing in a stadium where I've never won and against a great team. And because we're sure we are going to get through.[LNB]"I really don't know why I struggled so many times to score against Real. Maybe I tried too hard because I wanted it so much."[LNB]
