Torres looks to end Liverpool trophy drought

Fernando Torres says he is desperate to win his first medal with Liverpool and end the Reds’ trophy drought.

Rafa Benitez’s men haven’t won a trophy since defeating West Ham in the 2006 FA Cup Final, a year after winning the European Cup in the boss’ first season at Anfield.

But Torres, who has spent two full seasons with the club, is yet to lift a trophy in a Liverpool shirt and he says he can’t wait get his hands on glory.

“It is so important for me to get my first club medal with Liverpool but I am young, I am just 25,” said Torres.

“I have won top honours with Spain now and, yes, there is a desperation to win a trophy for the fans at Liverpool.

“Three years without a trophy is too much for Liverpool and especially the Premier League – it is far too long for this club.

“We have to improve and try to win the league, the Champions League or maybe a cup because to go another season and have four years without a trophy would be a massive blow for Liverpool.

“After winning the European Championship with Spain I know exactly how it feels to win a major trophy and I know that, if we can win at Liverpool, it will feel the same or even better than it did with Spain.”
