Watch Fernando Torres get sent off during U19 game for shoving rival coach – who is his former Liverpool TEAM-MATE
THIS is the shocking moment Fernando Torres was sent off during an Under-19s game.
That’s after shoving the rival coach — who was his former team-mate at Liverpool.
Former Reds striker and Chelsea ace Torres, 39, is now the manager of Atletico Madrid’s youth side.
The Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup winner has undergone a major body transformation since moving into the dugout, taking on a new bulked-up look.
And Torres put his size to good use when he squared up to old Liverpool pal Alvaro Arbeloa on Sunday.
The former right-back is now manager of Real’s U19s team.
And the two Madrid rivals played out an epic Youth Cup clash, with Real coming out as 4-2 victors on aggregate.
But things spilled over when Torres and Arbeloa began a battle on the touchline.
The two men were seen shouting before squaring up to each other after a ruckus on the field.
As the benches scuffled, Torres reportedly said: “I’ll blow your head off.”

This led Arbeloa to respond: “Start whenever you want.”
Torres then shoved Arbeloa in the chest and was promptly given a red card by the referee.
The encounter stunned many, with Torres and Arbeloa team-mates together at Liverpool between 2007 and 2009.
One fan said: “Guess he’s off his Christmas card list.”
One noted: “Liverpool legends.”
Another added: “Arbeloa should have asked to get sent off too and accompany Torres walking out to You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
Torres played 142 times for Liverpool between 2007 and 2011, scoring 81 goals in the process.
As for Arbeloa, he played 98 times between 2006 and 2009, before moving to the Bernabeu.
