Fernando Torres was blown away by the atmosphere at Anfield on European nights, especially when Liverpool knocked Arsenal out in the last round of the Champions League.

The sound of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ sang by the fans was enough to bring tears to the young Spaniard eyes.

He said: “The atmosphere against Arsenal was fantastic and it is hard to believe that it is possible for it to be better than that tonight.”

“At the end of the game I looked around the ground and all I could see was red and white flags and scarves and the noise was incredible.

“I have said it brought tears to my eyes and that is true. It is hard to believe that there are any more special places in football than Anfield on a European night.”
