Benfica striker Saviola dismisses Liverpool ace Torres threat

Benfica striker Javier Saviola insists they're not nervous facing Liverpool ace Fernando Torres in the Europa League.

Saviola says Benfica's attack is more than a match for Liverpool's firepower.

He said: "Fernando is one of the best strikers in Europe but the Benfica frontline isn't bad either.

"We're not obsessed with him. It would be stupid to forget players like Steven Gerrard, Javier Mascherano, Maxi Rodriguez and Dirk Kuyt, who are also dangerous."
