Torres hoping for trophy hat-trick

Striker Fernando Torres wants to follow up Chelsea s Champions League and FA Cup success by winning Euro 2012 with Spain.

Vicente del Bosque s side are the holders of the UEFA European Championships, and among the favourites again to win the tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

Torres, 28, netted the only goal in Spain s 1-0 triumph over Germany in the Euro 2008 final.

And with his country s all-time leading goal-scorer David Villa ruled out through injury, the pressure is on Torres to lead the line during the competition.

I had a great end of season in which I collected two titles and I hope to win the Euro and put the cherry on the cake, he said.

Currently we are considered favourites for the Euro 2012 and we have a different kind of pressure. I have new hopes after a tough year for me.

It s not easy to be here, but what we want now is to maintain Del Bosque s trust in us, play as much as possible and make a big contribution to the team.

That s what I m here for. We have a collective target, not an individual one.
