With the permission of Gerrard and Forlan, the Vicente Calderon last episode will have its course in Europe without the stars of Atletico and Liverpool. Neither Torres Agüero or former colleagues, friends and idols rojiblancos. The first Spanish through suspension and injury, in his second missed opportunity to walk on the grass of their former home. A party to '50 percent 'with the mind set in the Hamburg final. [Previous graphic]

"They lose the two teams and the fans. He who loses more or less, it is difficult to assess. Both teams and fans lost, but that's football," said Rafa Benitez press conference before the game. Coach 'red' is aware of the weight of Torres in attack and the consequences it has had its flashing during the season.

22 goals in 34 official matches the injuries have allowed him to play this season. That yes, 18 of the many have been in the Premier. One reason that Liverpool has tiptoed past the Champions League and almost a desperate fight for the final spot giving access to the Champions League in England.

A team with no clear direction with a logbook similar to Atletico. Even staying on the bench as another former Valencia boss Quique Sanchez Flores and will also be without its star, 'Kun' Agüero. The weight of the Argentine striker, 19 goals in 46 games, is less than Torres, but its impact on team play is equal or greater.

"I think there is much talk of falling Fernando, which we regret very much because we knew the illusion that I had to play here, but in any case, the low Aguero is at least the same level as that of Fernando", valued Atletico coach.

They will be sorely missed a game and a stage designed for them. Also miss the winter reinforcements James and Maxi, absent imperative of UEFA. Fortunately for Atletico, Kun is ready to visit Anfield ... if injuries permit. Torres, who will be out for a month, you'll see on TV the round trip from the Coliseum box 'red'.
