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."
