Torres wants Real reunion

Fernando Torres is desperate for Liverpool to draw his old adversaries Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The Spanish striker helped the Reds into the last 16 by scoring in Tuesday night's 4-0 win over Marseille - and the former Atletico Madrid player now wants a go at Bernd Schuster's side. Liverpool will play one of Real, Barcelona, Sevilla, AC Milan or Inter Milan in the last 16.

Torres told www.liverpoolfc.tv: "I hope that we draw Real Madrid, that would be a great tie. We have a chance to play a team from Spain or Italy, but playing Madrid would be really good."

He added: "It would be better to play a Spanish side than an Italian one, although it would not be bad to meet Milan and gain some revenge for the final last season.

"But it is all the same really, as we know that the level will be very high."
