Fernando Torres picks his ultimate starting XI featuring three Liverpool greats

Former Liverpool and Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has chosen his ultimate XI, including some Reds teammates like Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso. Torres has joined Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in 2007. He has scored of 81 goals in 142 games at Anfield before his £50m move to Chelsea. The latter didn't turned out to be best place for the player's career. After his loan move to AC Milan, the Spain international returned to Atletico in 2014, staying for another four years before joining Sagan Tosu of the Chinese Super League. In an interview with Liverpool's official media channel LFC TV, Torres has picked his ultimate XI made up of his old team-mates.

A player who all the teams need; hard work, good with the ball - a player that I loved to play alongside at Liverpool. And next to him will be Xabi Alonso, the perfect partner for him you could see in our time here altogether. Mascherano and Alonso are the perfect combination and we need Alonso's quality with the ball to play. In the more advanced position is Steven Gerrard, this is my icon player. I need Steven in the team, any system, any team, a key player for me and obviously the most important player in that role as a No.10, a little bit in front of Mascherano and Alonso. [He's] the best player I played with, I've said that many times. He is the player that completed my game. There is a 'before and after' since I started playing with him. So an icon player, captain of that team and I will be so happy to be able to play with him again."
