Torres welcomes rough stuff

Carvalho and Mongo tried to kick Torres from pillar to post in the first leg but their rough stuff won't put the Liverpool striker off his game as he says he welcomes it.

"I have wanted to play against guys like John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho for a long time, and they do me an honour by giving me a tough time," said the Spaniard.

"Now I'm going to try to respond to them by getting a couple of goals against Chelsea.

"Everybody dreams about playing in the Champions League, and in the space of a few months I have gone from watching it on TV to having a part in it and I already have plenty of memories.

"My goal at the San Siro when we beat Inter Milan 1-0, the 4-0 win over Marseille, and my goal in the 4-2 win over Arsenal - now it is the turn of Chelsea."
