Prime Fernando Torres Was Unbelievable 😱 

In his prime: devastating. Fast, big, strong, cynical, winning mentality, great in the air, great outside the box, great inside the box, great dribbler, great technique, great team work on the whole pitch.. The guy was like a tornado.

Torres and Gerrard were made for each other.

It's hard to find scorers like him today. He was a true menace to the defence.

My favorite player of all time, his 1v1 ability as a striker was so elite.

So glad people still remember and recognize how good was my all time favorite player :’)

Watching him play was like watching a lion pick off a wounded gazelle. He was an apex predator, it was instinctual. No emotion, no fear, no mercy, and unrelenting dead-eye ruthlessness. Didn't say much, didn't complain for no service, barely spoke to the ref, he just had one thing on his mind at all times and was constantly on the hunt. I think that's what gave him an edge over every defense. Nothing phased him, he was always probing to make his own opportunities and looking for his next kill. List the top 10 centerbacks at that time and he didn't care, they were just prey to him. When he wanted the ball and you didn't meet his energy, he simply went right through you and took what he wanted. There were so many goals where he simply overpowered world-class centerbacks when they weren't up to the challenge.

He was the reason I started loving football. Elite player.

Torres prime have 200% confidence

In 2008 he was a beast! During the Euro championship, him, David Villa, Xavi, Sergio Ramos were unstopable… I truly belive he could’ve deserved the 2008 Ballon d’Or… even thought came third…

On his day he was the best centre forward in the world! Speed, strength, dribbling ability, heading, finishing, either footed, great hold up play, just a complete striker and a very very rare breed

My favourite player of all time. Worst thing he could have done was to leave Liverpool. Salah is excellent but Fernando was something else. A born leader he could have been.

Im a united fan and when i was young my dad we were watching liverpool 4-1 at old trafford, i remember he told me if torres was in front of the goal its over, and its true, i hate liverpool but Torres wearing that red jersey is scary as hell

He was just so complete as a striker...left foot, right foot, dribbling, heading, hold up...he was good. Led spain to the beginning of their domination in 2008 as well. A torres plus suarez partnership would have been unstoppable

Unlike today's strikers, who all seem to have atrengths and weaknesses, this highlight reel literally skows peak Torres had every tool in the box. What stands out most is his 1v1 ability. You just don't see anyone take defenders on as directly as that any more. He was an absolute menace.

What a signing he was, Played his best Football at Anfield 💯

This is pure striker...

Back when we had strickers worth calling strickers , Torres Drogba VanPersie

The Guy who Made me Love Football . Torres+Gerrard Duo 🔥. Iconic Commentary: "TORREEEESSSSS" !

In the era of ronaldo and messi , I always said Torres ❤️😀

One of my top favorite players back in a day. A true legend of the game! #FT9

That Torres in Liverpool with Gerardo was a magical duo.

In the 08 09 seasons he was godly. As an Arsenal fan I hated him, as a football fan I love his game. One of the strikers I loved the most.Right foot, left foot, header, outside the box, around the goalie. He had everything, full package. When he is back to the goal and he turns his defender you know its over. With all that said, still don't know what happened to him at Chelsea. They don't make strikers like these nowadays. Appreciate his game so much.

He was a truly beast, unbeliavable pace clinical finishing

By far the player i loved the most, he's the reason why i love Liverpool, when he had his decline and i realised i'd never see prime Torres again, well...that really broke my heart; by my point of view there Will be no one like him

He was trully phenomenal at his peak. Hard to find many better 9's than him at that time.

Prime Torres destroyed Vidic What a legend

One of the most elegant striker, 'Zidane' of forward, I miss those days

my Favorite striker of All time with David Villa 🇪🇸👑

they player that made me love footbal Fernando Torres, even at his time in chelsea i loved him cuz i never gave up and always played his heart out. especially for the national team

forever my favorite premier league player ever. He was such a beast such a monster. will never forget the goat!

going forward like a tank. 2009-2010 he was the best nr 9. strong, also very fast and with flawless technique

His first touch is unbelievable 😲

He was complete , perfect , it’s toooooooo sad how his career went down

Torres playstyle is literally same as R9. dribbling, pace finishing. Classic number 9. A pity he left and suarez was brought in, would be a delight to see him with suarez tag team.....both monster.

legend number 9 👏🏻

His hold up play was top notch. Good control, good on the feet also. Quite remarkable remembering his size which quite tall

Sad more people seem to only remember him for his quick downfall and struggles rather than how absolutely scary he was in his prime... I remember He and David Villa in their primes on those Spanish teams... Scored at will.

My idol🇪🇦

an underrated and under appreciated attribute about torres was how good he was at not only producing off balls shots, but how good at converting them he was. Seems like he wasn’t ever worried about winning a foul, even in the box always stood strong and tried 2 get a shot off, almost like he knew how could he was at those off balance shots so he took his chances.

imagine there are torres prime, suarez prime, mo salah in one line up.. 🤛

El nino..the man that made me fall in love with Liverpool when i was 9

Fun fact: Torres played more games with Chelsea than he did with Liverpool

He was such a legend miss his moments

Thanks for this. The younger gen can now see what a beast he was. Arguably the most feared striker at that time.

Thank you for this Torres video! It's nice to see a recent Torres video 😎

Dude was a monster, in chelsea also he was tough and strong but low on confidence in front of goal

This guy could of been one of the greatest strikers of all time 😢

He was one of a kind

My favorite forward ever after Berbatov. So much natural talent and skill. Amazing finishing and dribbling too. Liverpool's undeniably best striker. He's like a magician so clever and comfortable on the ball and fast paced. Love soccer players like him who are good persons in real life and show great sportsmanship on the field. Nothing but respect to the legendary El Niño Fernando Torres. Thanks for memories even as a Man Utd fan I admired this guy to bits and continue to do so. But I was terrified to see him up against us because he always managed to score. Won 2 cups with Spain. Like how much better can your career be? It's impossible.

Beast.

Hes One of my Idol's Great Player And Skill

What a genius player with passion and talent

not call prime torres but call Liverpool torres 👍🏻🔥

Prime Torres 😥

He can score from everywhere back then real nightmare..he was fast af too

After Henry and Le Tissier, my fave ever Premier League player. Everything he did was just so smooth.....hard to describe but he has a smoothness and speed to his touch that you rarely see.

O auge de El niño Torres no Liverpool foi muito foda

And now he’s unbelievably jacked 😅❤

Fantastic player, my idol❤

MY FAVORITE PLAYER EVER.

Imagine we got another formidable striker like torres 🔥

I used to so much enjoy playing him in ps2

Once upon a time in liverpool clup legendary at that time❤.👏👏👏

As a Chelsea fan, Torres was a thorn in our flesh. For some strange reasons, I was a huge Tores fan

Legend

This guy deserve a statue at Anfield. We talk less of this guy❤❤❤

Wasn’t a Liverpool fan or watched Liverpool games until 2011, right after they signed Luis Suarez so I missed all things Fernando Torres and had no clue what he did for the club for awhile (I live in the US so didn’t have access to European soccer for awhile). Suarez and Salah are my favorite players of all time but I’m sure Torres would’ve right up there had I been watching them a few years before!

I love F.Torres

Fowler, owen, torres, sturridge, suarez, salah, Liverpool have had some strikers over the last 25 years,

One of my favorite players of all time. And thats coming from an Arsenal fan.

He made top defenders like Ferdinand, Vidic and Terry look like they were auditioning for a Debenhams window display.

After Euro 2008 Final he's never just the man he was, never the same anymore 😢

My favorite striker, he can score with right and left foot, also his head

If you haven't Watched this man in his Prime you don't know what Real Football is Defenders were in real Fear when they see that man running he had an answer for everything

FEELS LIKE I'M REWATCHING DRODGA HIGHLIGHTS. PHEW! VERY CLINICAL STRIKERS

As good as he was he relied mostly on his speed and physique. Once he lost his speed he wasnt the same

Perfect player in his prime

Even as a United fan, who hates Liverpool, I used to love watching him at Liverpool, I can't think of any striker in the world that was better than prime Torres, other than Ronaldo Nazario

From 0 to 100 in no time thats what Torres was a true stallion

FT9 WITH THE T90...... Good O'l Days !!!! !

He's no 9 Spain golden era for a reason ☠️☠️

Quando eu brincava queria ser Fernando torres

We don’t have a striker as good as him today. The one who comes closer to It is mbape, but still lacks that special touch of finesse prime Torres had.

He putted Liverpool on another level in his prime. What a beast he was!!!

Easily on the top 10 Liverpool signings of all time.

Prime Torres is a better striker to watch than Haaland.

Liverpool Torres🔥

Imagine if this prime version of Torres plays for Man C under Pep.He would have been far better than Haaland.

Un monstre à son prime

From my observation, Torres seems play rougher compare to other Liverpool striker. We see he outmuscle strong defender a lot but that also his downfall as injury of both knee slows him down after the worldcup. Unlike Suarez or Salah, Suarez with silky touch while Salah rather let it go some challenge but defender still make mistakes after so there is still chance. With Torres style of play that hurt his longevity.

We didn't have much back in the days.. Just Torres and Gerrard upfront. The rest were supporting casts and really.. besides Alonso, Mascherano, and Reina.. We didn't have much talents. Super defensive plays with two guys rocking up front, but somehow we were competing.. Not winning, but competing.

It's a great player 🦶🏻⚽

He is better than Haaland

I don’t know what happened after 2012 but players are just not as good as they used to be compared now to 90s and 00s

Torres and Gerrard are the reason I support Liverpool till date.

We need him in the coaching staff just for Nunez

Best All round striker LFC ever had, and I have watched live the very best including Fowler, Owen, Rushie, Suarez, Salah, Kenny and Beardsley. He could do everything the others specialised in and things they couldn't. Its a pity he didn't stay fit for longer.

I always wondered what would have happened if he stayed for one more season and what we would achieve with Torres+ Suraz

Blond hair Torres was a force of nature. He was absolutely lethal around 2007-2010. Arguably the best striker in the league (Drogba was close second). Ruined by injuries🤕

I'm trying to think of a better pairing I've seen at Liverpool than Gerrard and Torres. I don't think there has been a better one since I started watching in the early 90s.
