Fernando Torres insists Liverpool can outdo Barcelona next season.
The Spain striker told the News of the World: "I don't say it lightly, but we must think we can be as good or even better than Champions League winners Barcelona. It's the belief of everybody at this club that we can become the best and I think we have really moved forward in the last two seasons.
"Liverpool are just as famous as Barcelona as a football club and even more famous trophy-wise. But we want to make Liverpool as successful in this era as they were in the 70s and 80s.
"What Barca did in Rome to win the European Cup was an absolute masterclass of football. Teams can beat Manchester United but how many teams can you say make them look that ordinary?
"That is exactly what happened. Andres Iniesta and Xavi were fantastic, the best central midfield performance I have ever seen.
"They are the best central midfield in world football for me at the moment. Manchester United with all their class and talent just had no answer to them."
