The former Red, who makes his first Anfield return tonight, believes that Torres has the fire-power to lead Liverpool to their first league title since 1990.

"When I was here we did not have player who can score 20 goals a season, we tried to find one, but we certainly did not have one like Torres," said Garcia.

"Torres has given Liverpool that extra dimension, he is scoring in the Premier League and in Europe. He got 33 last season and can do the same again. In the Premier League you need a player who can give you that, and that is why they are a better team now with Fernando in their team."
