Torres could score his 50th league goal for Liverpool today, and if he does so he will reach that milestone faster than anyone else in the club's history. Such a strike rate has earned him the praise of his manager.
"We know that Fernando is a very good player but to reach this number of goals also shows how quickly he has settled into the team and the city," said Benitez.
"The Barclays Premier League is very difficult so to score 49 league goals in such a short time shows he is someone that is really happy here.
"There are some big names who have scored a lot of goals for this club so for Torres to be with them is really good for him and also for us."
