Fernando Torres: We'll defeat Real

[Sunday, December 28, 2008 ]

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres believes his side will beat Real Madrid in their Champions League clash on February.

The Reds are unbeaten in this year's competition but now face a tricky test as they paired against the nine-time champions in the last 16.

Torres faced European heartbreak last season as Liverpool were knocked out in the semi-finals by Chelsea.

However, El Niño is confident that a place in the quarter-finals will be heading to Anfield.

"We all realise that it is going to be a tough tie against Real Madrid," he wrote on his personal site, www.fernando9torres.com.

"I don't like talking about a possible favourite, but I am sure that we are going to qualify for the next round."

Still, the former Atlético Madrid hero admitted he has not had much luck against the Spanish giants previously.

"When I was playing my football in Spain, I used to score a lot against Barcelona," he added. "But I found it harder when playing versus Real Madrid."
