Rafa praises Gerrard, Torres

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has praised Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres for their abilities to turn a game on its head when necessary. The duo have been in inspired form as Liverpool have mounted a last minute rush to glory.

Liverpool boss Benitez will be hoping that the duo come up trumps for tonight's key Champions League semi final against Chelsea.

"It is not just about one or two players. We have players of quality who can change a game, and we must play as a unit.

“But when you have Torres or Gerrard, and you are not playing well, the team know that these players can score to get you out of a problem.

"We have a lot of confidence because we know Torres can create something.

"Gerrard is a key player for us, and when he scores the winner in the semi-final maybe Chelsea will see even more how important he is for us."
