Chelsea's Torres tipping Spain to improve rapidly

Fernando Torres is confident that Spanish national team will be back to their best soon.

The reigning World and European champions stuttered to a 1-0 win over Croatia on Monday night to finish top of Group C at Euro2012 but Chelsea striker Torres knows La Furia Roja have not been in great form.

"We have not played at the level that Spain can reach and we have to try to be better in the next game," Torres told reporters.

"Spain has to return to her level."

Vicente del Bosque's team next meets Group D runners-up France in the quarter-finals on Saturday night in Donetsk.
