Don’t forget Torres won the corner that drogba scored from he was definitely underrated at Chelsea not to mention the next season he scored 23 goals in all comps and had a few number of assists and was the starter helping us win the Europa league

If the game just ended 2-2 with Chelsea going thru with away goals, it wouldn’t have felt like as good of a revenge, Barca would’ve still held onto hope until the game ended. That goal crushed Barca’s hopes, and that’s why it was so important and memorable

As a 90's kid and LFC fan, Torres was probably my favourite football player in my late teens. There was nothing new in this video for me, but it made me relive it again. Well structured and great storytelling. Good job Matt. For being as young as you are, and with the disability of being American (I assume), you exhibit substantial football knowledge.

You are right! I didn't highlight it as much in the video other than a quick mention, but it seems very likely that rushing back from injury to play in the 2010 World Cup made things a lot worse and led to the run of bad form post-2010 World Cup.

I remember hardly the game but the outcome made me cry myself to sleep in that summer night of 2006. But this game. I remember every detail. The amount of pressure Barcelona put on Chelsea the final goal of Torres. The way he celebrated over Valdes. This feels so far away now. 2010s football will be missed for sure.

He didn’t score in the final and never became a 25 goals-per-season kinda player for Chelsea after this but he did play his part both in the UCL final by earning the last minute corner that lead to Drogba’s equaliser and I believe he was their top scorer in the Europa League the following year and scored in the final with them winning that and becoming one of the only clubs ever to hold both the Europa League title and Champions League title at the same time.

If your club has never won the Champions League, You will never understand the feeling until your club actually does it. That same feeling i also had in 2021. That goal against the best Barca team (current ucl winners at the time), A Messi machine of 91 goals that calendar year.. & we, We Chelsea stopped them. That Torres goal, as a neutral fan you will never understand. The pain goes back to 04 losing semis to Monaco, 05 Ghost goal denied us, 07,.Liverpool again, 08 Man Utd in the final, 09 Barca the referee shenanigans, 11 Man uts again.. & finally, the weakest ever Chelsea team, finishing 6th in the league, managed to battle it. If football was ever a game about team spirit, belief & underdogs, it was those 2 games, Barca & Bayern. Also, remember, against Barca Chelsea played majority of the match with 10 men! Making it even harder.

Chelsea were going through, even if Torres didn't score. How did he repay £50 million just to relieve some pressure for a minute or two? Torres could have missed and the game could have gone on for another 3-4 minutes and it still would have ended up with Chelsea going through. Torres did not repay Chelsea for paying so much money for him. They expected him to score 20+ Premier league goals a season and he never even got half in his best scoring season for Chelsea. He was an actual flop
