Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is relishing the chance to play against Inter and hopes to help the Reds claim a sixth European title.
Liverpool face Internazionale on Tuesday night knowing that a defeat would probably bring an end to their chances of success in any competition.
The Reds are reeling from Saturday's shock 2-1 home defeat to Barnsley in the FA Cup, but Fernando Torres, who missed that game, is anxious to move on.
The Spanish striker should be passed fit to feature in Tuesday's Anfield clash having shaken off a hamstring injury and knows the game has huge importance for Liverpool football club.
"The game against Inter will be one of those special Champions League nights at Anfield that I have seen countless times before on the television," he explained.
“I have always dreamt of playing in one of these games and would certainly not like to miss it. The Champions League is an important competition. Everyone at Liverpool really wants to win a sixth European Cup and to continue the club’s proud tradition."
Torres has been at the club for less than a year but has already recognised what a special place Anfield is to play at. "(It's) like no other," he said. "The dressing rooms are from 70 years ago - there are none like them still around in Spain. The stadium also has a lot of history and tradition.
"The corridor which leads out on to the pitch is so narrow that the two teams can barely squeeze through. And to hear ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ as you step out into the stadium is unbelievable. You walk out on to the pitch fully charged and with enough energy to run all day. I think the atmosphere at Anfield can give us a real advantage against Inter this week.”
