Tiger Woods: 14-time mTorres will 'never forget' hearing Liverpool fans sing

The Spain international returned to his former club to take part in a charity match played between teams picked by Reds icons Steven Gerrard and Sportsmail's own Jamie Carragher. Torres and Luis Suarez both received a standing ovation when they made their second-half introduction.

Torres admits being surprised by the response, especially after supporters had acted angrily when he left the club for Chelsea for a then British record £50million in 2011. 

The famous 'Fernando Torres Liverpool's number nine' chant was sung by the Kop and a clearly moved Torres said afterwards: 'It was just very emotional.

'I didn't know how to react because I was not expecting them to sing the song which I still remember.

'I remember the great games we had here in the Champions league and trying to win the league and fighting for trophies.

'I have this song in my head and it was so important for me.

'Those three and a half years changed my entire life and I remember every important moment there was always that song from the Kop.

'So to hear that once again is something I will never forget.

'Everybody knows Liverpool fans are different class and for me today it is one of those things you can only dream about.

'It is just amazing to be able to be here and I just want to thank everybody for the welcome.' 

Mario Balotelli opened the scoring before Didier Drogba doubled the lead for Carragher's XI in the first half. Departing captain, Gerrard, who leaves for MLS side LA Galaxy at the end of the season, ensured the game finished level by netting a brace from the penalty spot.
