Liverpool fans are divided after Fernando Torres receives a standing ovation on his return to Anfield for the Liverpool legends game
Liverpool supporters are divided on social media after Fernando Torres received a raucous reception on his return to Anfield.
Torres joined a number of former Liverpool stars to feature in a clash against their Ajax counterparts to raise money for the LFC Foundation.
The 40-year-old, who retired from playing following a spell at Japanese side Sagan Tosu in 2019, impressed fans with his skills as he linked up with his former teammates during a training session before the game.
After netting late as Liverpool legends defeated Ajax on Saturday Torres received a standing ovation from the Anfield crowd.
However, clearly still scorned from his acrimonious exit, some fans insisted Torres should not have been greeted with such a warm welcome from the Anfield faithful.
