Just after I turned eight my parents bought a house in Estorde, in Galicia. Although at first this might not seem so important, it turned out to be because it was there that I met the girl who ended up being my girlfriend, Olalla. Apart from that, that time in my life was important because I made friends with a group of people who are still my friends today.

- Fernando Torres

“I have lost a friend. On Sunday when I saw him at Stamford Bridge shooting against my goal I felt nostalgic. It was making me sad after the three and a half years that we spent together [at Liverpool], of the meals and dinners with his family. But when the season finishes we will join again and take a vacation. There are friendships that once they have begun they are never finished.” — Pepe Reina.
