Spanish football player.

Fiancée is Olalla Dominguez Liste. They have been together for eight years and live together in Liverpool.

Torres scored the winning goal for Spain in their 1-0 win over Germany in the Euro 2008 final. It was Spain's first European Championship victory since 1964.

When Nando was eight years old he met his girlfriend Olalla during those summer spent at the seaside town of Estorde, Galicia, North West Spain where both families visited for summer vacations.

I think it is impossible for any Spaniard to imagine a World Cup without Spain. The reality is that we are not leading the group but there's no use looking back on what might have been. If things don't go our way we should still be in the playoffs but I'm convinced we've still got a chance of finishing in first place. Let's see what happens.

Just after I turned eight my parents bought a house in Estorde, in Galicia. Although at first this might not seem so important, it turned out to be because it was there that I met the girl who ended up being my girlfriend, Olalla. Apart from that, that time in my life was important because I made friends with a group of people who are still my friends today.

[When asked about what he thinks is a symbol of Spain in an interview] Our flag. People identify us with sevillanas and bullfighting but for me Spain has much more important things.

When you become an adult you just make that transition and you're right... it's fun and exciting to be an adult and exciting to have independence, but once you're out from under the cover of your family's protection and love, you sort of have to take a step back and come to terms with the fact that you won't really ever have that again in the same way. You'll never be a kid again.

I've always been a sad person. I'm a happy person too, but it's a thing in my brain or my spirit or something, I'm just sad and really acutely aware of mortality and loss.
