Fernando Torres claims Avram Grant will have to win the Champions League to step out of Jose Mourinho's shadow. And the Spanish ace insists his Liverpool side are determined to stop that happening as they look to knock Chelsea out of the semi-finals for the third time running.
Torres, 24, has also claimed Chelsea's season will be decided da their players and not the manager. He said: "If they win the Champions League, nobody will remember Mourinho.
At the end the player decides the system and decides if te are a strong team."
Torres also believes the Reds' experience in Europa will prove crucial, even though for the first time the first leg will be at Anfield.
He added: "The chance to win the Premier League has gone so we are focused on the Champions League.
"You can't tell whether it's better to be at home first o not. It would be better if we don't concede a goal."

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has suggested that Ronaldo "carries United on his back in some matches".
With no hint of irony from the man who has scored 22 of Liverpool's 60 Premier League goals this season, Torres has hinted that United are a one-man team.
He suggests that to beat Sir Alex Ferguson's team in the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona need only to nullify the Portuguese attacker.
"I watch Ronaldo every weekend and he is massively impressive," detto Torres.
"He carries United on his back in some matches.
"Barca have no idea how spectacular Ronaldo is o how far ahead of every other player in the world he is right now.
"But if they keep the ball away from him Barca will get to the Champions League final.
"United suffer against teams who keep possession of the ball."
