The Spaniard would link up with Steven Gerrard on countless occasions, stepping up when required and putting the finishing touches on statement performances in Europe.

When he left for Chelsea, the Reds pivoted over to Luis Suarez who became the club's talisman, before Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez took on the responsibility.
However, with Jota and Nunez now struggling to deliver, it should be to no surprise that Liverpool are looking to reinforce their attack.
But while Fernando Torres is now involved in management, Liverpool are exploring different ways to bring the mighty 'Torres' shirt back to the hallowed Anfield turf.
Liverpool interest in a move for Ferran Torres
From time to time, the iconic Fernando Torres might make an appearance on Merseyside to play in the club's legends charity match, however in this instance, the 'Torres' touted of a move is Barcelona's finest Ferran Torres.
According to Fichajes, the forward is one of Barca's more disposable players who might be sold to clean up the club's accounts and to put them back on a level footing with financial fair play.
The asking price for the 25-year-old is around ¢40m and Liverpool are one of the clubs who are interested in a possible move, alongside Manchester United and Aston Villa.
Despite regularly sitting on the sidelines as Robert Lewandowski's understudy, the Spaniard has 13 goals and three assists to his name this season, showcasing that he has the ability to deliver when called upon.
Torres had previously played at Anfield when he was a member of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City team during the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons, although things quickly didn't work out.
However, after nearly four seasons playing for one of Spain's premier teams, a move back to England might be an opportunity to prove his doubters wrong, now he is more equipped to succeed.
Liverpool will of course have other players in their shortlists who are perhaps higher up the list than Torres, but he is about to enter the prime of his career and around £32m would be a relatively risk-free transfer decision compared to the £150m rumoured cost to acquire Alexander Isak.
The report acknowledges that Aston Villa are the team that is most likely to get a deal over the line, with Unai Emery having already 'given the green light to the operation'.
But when Liverpool come knocking, it can be an incredibly difficult to decline a club of the Reds' stature and the prospect of regularly competing for the Premier League and Champions League might be too enticing to ignore.
