The Spanish international had a superb first season in Premier League managing to score 33 goals for Liverpool. The other candidates were Ronaldo from Manchester United, Joleon Lescott from Everton and Richard Dunne from Manchester City.

Torres is also a candidate for Golden Ball but Ronaldo and Messi are the favorites for the title.

“El Nino” declared that he is very happy with the award and wanted to thank his manager, his colleagues and not at last the fans  who support him since arrival at Liverpool.

Torres is just returning from a hamstring injury that keep him out of action for some weeks. He came in as a substitute in Liverpool’s win 2-0 at Bolton  showing a great form as he set up an assist at Gerrard goal.

Torres will join up Spain for the International friendly against Chile.

Real looks like is not recovering after Champions League defeats against Juventus who beat them in both matches. Another decisive factor is Ruud van Nistelrooy’s injury who will be out for the rest of the season.

Nistelrooy’s injury left Real  without too many options in attack, Raul, Higuain and Saviola. This is an unusual situation for Real who use to have 6-7 options in attack  last years.

It seems that the injury of team’s goal scorer has demoralized the players.

Real is searching for a replacement to avoid a season that could turn into a disaster for them. The Spanish champions were already knocked out of the Copa del Rey and they are going to play the decisive match in Champions League against Zenit.
The next matches are decisive for Real and Schuster who will probably leave the club after only one year if he fails to improve the situation.
