Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is convinced he isn't rated by Spanish fans - and wants to prove himself tonight against Real Madrid.

"If you don't play for Real or Barca, then people in Spain just don't rate you as highly," he said. "That's just how it is, and it still applies, even though I have moved to England. I think it is still the case that some people just look at me as an Atleti.

"But the fact is, becoming a Liverpool player has given me the chance to show I have arrived as a player. Now I want to prove that to a full house at the Bernabeu."
