The age-old question has finally been answered.
Would Fernando Torres pick Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard in his ultimate five-a-side team?
While that question may not be age-old or even mildly interesting, the Spaniard has named one of the English midfield legends in a five-a-side team of players he’s played with.
Gerrard is the only former Liverpool teammate to make the grade while Petr Cech is the one Chelsea player to have been given a starting place.
The remaining three spots are reserved for international colleagues as Sergio Ramos, Andres Iniesta and David Villa all fill out a side that is admirably sensible.
“Petr Cech showed me how a goalkeeper can win a Champions League final [in 2012],” Torres told UEFA.com. “At the back, Sergio Ramos because of his character and friendship.
“Then, of course, Gerrard – the best team-mate I played with – and Iniesta, the most talented player Spain have produced. Up front, Villa – a fantastic player who is always there when you need him.”
We always admire a player leaving himself out of the running too. Fair play, El Nino .
