Liverpool striker Fernando Torres hopes to fulfil one of his career ambitions in May by scoring against Manchester United in the Champions League final.
But the Spanish superstar is not especially fussy as to when he breaks his duck against the 10-time Premier League champions.
Torres has faced United twice, but he is yet to open his account against Sir Alex Ferguson's despite tallying some 38 goals in 57 appearances since joining Liverpool last year.
The former Atletico Madrid captain did feature against the Red Devils last month - a fact which, combined with Steven Gerrard only appearing as a late substitute, made the Merseysiders' 2-1 victory all the more impressive.
And after witnessing that display from the sidelines at Anfield, Torres is eager to get in on the action himself - whether that be in front of the Kop, the Stretford End or Stadio Olimpico's Curva Nord.
The 24-year-old told the press: “We all want to score against our big rivals. I’ll have another chance at Old Trafford this season ... or maybe in the Champions League final.”
Torres has netted four times in his last two league games, claiming match-winning braces against Everton and Manchester City. He will hope to carry that form onto the international stage when Spain meet Estonia in World Cup qualifying on Saturday.
