Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas admits Fernando Torres' move to Liverpool has been the making of him.

"Torres was right to go to the Premier League, without doubt," he told Spanish newspaper AS. "It has been amazing for him, he's matured, he's grown a lot and he is one of the really big names over there.

"Just like it has been with Cesc, whose situation is the same. These are two exceptional footballers and their success is marvellous for the Spanish national team."
