Fernando Torres is not the No.1 striker say beaten Germans
Published 00:00 01/07/08 By
Fernando Torres' star may be shining bright following a magnificent last 12 months but talk of the Spain ace being the best striker in the world is premature, according to some of the Germany team who faced him.
Torres capped a superb first season with Liverpool, where he scored 33 goals in 47 games by grabbing Spain's historic winner on Sunday after earlier heading against a post.
Yet his marker Christoph Metzelder cautioned: last night: "There are many good strikers - it's difficult to say who is the best."
And Germany keeper Jens Lehmann added: "I played in the same team as Thierry Henry, who was like a god. There is still a difference. Torres could get there, but it takes a while."
