Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has said that the key to beating Manchester United is by stopping their winger Cristiano Ronaldo.
Torres, 24, who is in his first season at the Anfield club, told the Sun: "I watch Ronaldo every weekend and he is massively impressive.
"He carries United on his back in some matches."
The Spaniard was speaking ahead of next week's Champions League semi-finals when United will face Barcelona.
Torres knows from personal experience just how good the 38-goal United player is following the Portuguese winger's goal in Liverpool's 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford last month.
He said: "Barca have no idea how spectacular Ronaldo is or 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."
Torres also warned Liverpool fans not to expect such an exciting tie as against Arsenal when his side face Avram Grant's Chelsea.
He said: "It won't be as colourful as the amazing game against Arsenal.
"It will be a really tactical and strategic game.
"Just one tiny detail, one mistake or set-play will decide our semi-final."
