No man is a prophet in his own land, ask Fernando Torres about it. He, who joined Liverpool has matured a lot as a player and has become a Premier League star. With 21 goals on the Premier, the Spanish player is succeeding and developing a well known play style in Spain, but not admired as much as in England nowadays. Fernando Torres, the young natural from Madrid who started to shine on Atletico de Madrid, has become a fundamental player for Liverpool and Premier League while also competing to achieve the title of Golden Boot. Only Luiz Fabiano is opposing him with 23 goals.
The Torresfever as it’s known in England the passion for Fernando Torres, has become a new fashion of the current season, where match after match all talk about how wonderful is the Liverpool’s striker performance. His coach, Rafa Benítez, qualifies him as one of the best world’s strikers because “to score so many goals is not easy, even less for a recently arrived foreigner like Fernando. It is great for him and wonderful for the team”.
With this, Fernando Torres is the second more chanted name by Liverpool’s supporters, behind the so loved captain Steven Gerrard. With only the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals and the last Premier League matches left, we will see how many goals will Fernando score!

Next March 4 Barcelona will be invaded again by Celtic Glasgow supporters when the Scottish team will play the second leg match of Champions League in Camp Nou. Only about 5,000 supporters will have tickets and the privilege to attend the match in the FC Barcelona Stadium. According the Celtic Supporters Association other 10,000 supporters without tickets will also travel to Barcelona. The travel agencies have already sold all packs, with and without ticket to visit Barcelona in one month time. Some of them will try to obtain the valued tickets through official resale companies but few of them will be successful.
The town council authorities, FC Barcelona and Celtic Glasgow board members have already initiated talks to find out an adequate space for all Scottish supporters without tickets and therefore to avoid any possible incident. The Forum area or another area not far from Plaza España will be possibly prepared as a ‘fan zone’ to house for few hours all supporters.
The only change in the ‘invaders quantity’ could takes place according the score in the first leg match if FC Barcelona is able to take a notable advantage but anyway the supporters difference would be not very important. It should be remembered that the travelling European record is for Celtic Glasgow supporters – 80,000 of them travel to Sevilla for the UEFA Final in 2003.
