Enrique Cerezo has revealed that he hopes that Liverpool make it through to the next round of the Champions League along with his Atlético de Madrid side from Group D.
Los Colchoneros' president is confident that the Spanish outfit can do well in the competition after a 12-year absence and is delighted with the prestige that their involvement has brought.
Fernando Torres remains a favourite with Atlético after he rose through the club's youth ranks and Cerezo wants the striker's new club to join his club in the second phase.
"It would be fantastic for us to go through to the next round. I would really like Atlético and Liverpool to qualify," he told reporters.
Atlético's first game in the group is against PSV on Tuesday and Cerezo believes that coach Javier Aguirre will not be sending his players out for anything other than three points.
"We are going to try to win because to begin well will be important," he continued. "We have experienced players and they will go out to win and to play well."
Cerezo admitted that he is looking forward to hearing the Champions League music play just before the game, but is more concerned about what happens after that on the pitch.
"It will be a great moment, but the music does not really matter to me. Only goals do," he explained. "These games give prestige to the club and the players.
