In spite of entering a patch of good form towards the end of the season, including a goal against Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League, Torres did not start in the final and this has certainly irked him.

Torres unhappy despite Champions League win

Fernando Torres may have won the Champions League with Chelsea on Saturday night following a dramatic penalty shootout against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, but the Spanish striker openly admitted his stay at Chelsea has been far from comfortable. Speaking to journalist Guillem Balague , Torres said: " I have been through the worst moments of my career during the season. I felt they have treated me in a way I was not expecting."

AP”] [/caption] The interview, also published in Diairio AS (Spanish), also quoted the former Liverpool striker as saying that he would like to sort out his future after talks with the club. “We’ve had a lot of talks and we’ll talk about my future at the end of the season because the role I’ve had this season is not for me, nor is it the one I expected to play when I came here.” In spite of entering a patch of good form towards the end of the season, including a goal against Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League, Torres did not start in the final and this has certainly irked him. “It’s contradictory because I feel like I’m at a peak moment in my career, with more desire and hunger than I’ve felt in a long time, but I’ve had to spend the final on the bench. It was a huge disappointment when I saw the line-up, perhaps the biggest disappointment in my life. I thought I would play in this game and I couldn’t imagine not doing so.” Torres also said that he had some of his worse moments during his time at the club and wanted a clarification on his future. There is some good news for Torres on the international front. Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has included him in the provisional Euro 2012 squad. If he performs well in that tournament, he could garner club interest too. Chelsea teammate Juan Mata is also in the list.
