Torres in emotional tribute to Liverpool fans after Anfield return

Former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has paid an emotional tribute to the club's
fans after he returned to anfield to feature in Sunday's All-Star charity match.

The Atletico Madrid forward brought an end to his Liverpool
career back in 2011 after he opted to sign for Chelsea in
a €58.5 million deal - a move that was initially met with
disgust by Reds fans.
But Torres was roundly applauded on Sunday as he lined up
for the Steven Gerrard vs Jamie Carragher All-Star charity
match, with the Spaniard expressing his gratitude to the
Merseyside club's supporters for the reception he received.
He posted on Instagram: "Thank you Liverpool supporters for
everything you gave me in my career, you are just different
class. It was a privilege to play in front of you again.
"Today I feel in peace with myself, hearing you singing my
name is something I will never forget. From the bottom of my
hart [sic] thank you very much Liverpool!!! #YWNWA"

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
