"It’s always special to play at Anfield and scoring in front of the Kop - even more so today because we are here to help the foundation. It doesn’t matter, we have things to do and I’m happy to help," Fernando Torres said after his first game for Liverpool since leaving Anfield in 2011.
"It’s the first time I can come because normally I am coaching and cannot find the time so I was really looking forward to it.
"It’s nice to be back. It’s the first time I’ve been back since I finished football five years ago.
"I always have the hope to do it (score), these things take time. Scoring for Liverpool is a big thing. I tried many times, but I couldn't do it.
"I tried that connection with Stevie (Gerrard) many times before, unfortunately we don’t have the same legs as before but we tried. After 50 minutes, I had cramps everywhere.
"I always have hopes to score - thanks to the boss for not taking me out! I did in the end (score) and I was happy. I just wanted to score in my first Liverpool game after many years. I did it!
"I’m not fit, trust me! I’ll do my best to train every day and come again next season and come back a little bit better."
Fernando Torres scored the final goal in Liverpool's 4-2 win over Ajax in a Legends charity match, with all the proceeds going to the LFC Foundation.
Liverpool organise such matches every year, meaning that the Spaniard will have plenty of opportunities to return to Anfield for a good cause.
