Former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is barely recognizable from his days of scoring goals for the Reds. Torres is most fondly remembered for his spell at Anfield, where he scored an impressive 81 goals in just three-and-a-half years, quickly becoming a Liverpool legend before making a move to Chelsea in 2011.

Here we are five years later and they are still trying to build – around the same position in the league as when I left." While his transfer to Stamford Bridge tarnished Torres' reputation on Merseyside to a degree, the passage of time and the Spaniard's failure to replicate his previous form at Chelsea have gradually mended relationships. In 2019, Torres expanded on his enduring affection for Liverpool.
