Former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is at Anfield this evening and has admitted he is 'happy' to be back.
The 37-year-old will be among a number of other former Reds also in attendance as Jurgen Klopp's side take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Torres, who is now part of Atletico's youth coaching staff, was in Kirkby earlier this afternoon as Liverpool under-19s earned a 2-0 UEFA Youth League win over the Spanish side and will have mixed emotions this evening as two of his former clubs go head-to-head.

Ahead of the match, the former Spain international sent a message to supporters of Liverpool and wished the team well having already taken his place inside the ground for the match.
"Hi guys, I am really happy to be back at Anfield and to see all the Liverpool fans. Good luck tonight," he said.
Torres left Atletico to join Liverpool back in 2007 and became a fan-favourite during his four-year spell on Merseyside.
He later returned to his boyhood club on loan for the 2015/16 season after spells at Chelsea and AC Milan and remained in Madrid until 2018 after turning this into a permanent switch.
The prolific striker scored 81 goals in 142 appearances for Liverpool and ranks in 23rd position in the club's list of all-time scorers.
