Torres dreams of winning Champions League

Wed, 18 Apr 10:25:47 2012

Fernando Torres has revealed he always dreamt more about winning the Champions League than the World Cup.

Torres, who is hoping to start Chelsea's Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona, has tasted both World Cup and European Championship glory with Spain in the last four years.

But the striker has yet to win a major trophy at club level, a blot on his CV that prompted his record-breaking £50million move to Stamford Bridge from Liverpool almost 15 months ago. No club has gone closer to winning the Champions League in the last decade without doing so than Chelsea, who thought buying Torres would finally lead them to that aim.

Torres told the club's official website: "I know the ambitions this club have in terms of winning the Champions League, but it's the same as what I have myself. It's something I dreamt about as a youngster growing up.

"I never really thought about winning the World Cup as I thought it was impossible, but now I have achieved that and I know what it feels like, so to win the Champions League would be a dream come true.

"It was the only trophy I wanted as a kid, to hold it in my arms, and if we do manage to win it, I'm sure it will be one of the greatest moments of my life."
