Spain striker Fernando Torres is desperate for Euro 2008 glory to help him get over his Champions League semi-final heartbreak with Liverpool.

Torres came within touching distance of capping a memorable first season at Anfield with a Champions League final appearance, but agonisingly missed out after a 4-3 aggregate loss to Chelsea in the last four.

"I have a lot of confidence following this season and a lot of desire to finish with a title," he said. "Now this (Euro 2008) is the last opportunity to finish with a title of this nature."

He added: "It will be what I have always dreamed of - a great season and a great end.

"The semi-finals of the Champions League have left a bad taste in the mouth, we were close to winning the Champions League and you could taste what it could be like to win such an important title."
