The 40-year-old, who retired from playing following a spell at Japanese side Sagan Tosu in 2019, impressed fans with his skills as he linked up with his former teammates during a training session before the game.

After netting late as Liverpool legends defeated Ajax on Saturday Torres received a standing ovation from the Anfield crowd.

However, clearly still scorned from his acrimonious exit, some fans insisted Torres should not have been greeted with such a warm welcome from the Anfield faithful.
