• Not starting final was £50m striker’s ‘biggest disappointment’• ‘I have not been treated in the manner I was expecting’Fernando Torres has admitted that winning a first European Cup has made up for the toils he has endured since swapping Liverpool for Chelsea for a British record fee of £50m, though the striker tempered that sense of relief by stressing he will not be satisfied with a bit-part role in the side next season.The forward, who will travel to Ibiza on holiday on Monday before the announcement of Spain’s squad for Euro2012, has added FACup and Champions League winners’ medals to the World Cup and European championship versions he has claimed with his national team. Yet Torres has played second fiddle to Didier Drogba in Chelsea’s two finals this term, coming on after 84 minutes against Bayern Munich having been an unused substitute against his former club, Liverpool, at Wembley earlier this month.The 28-year-old was ecstatic in victory yet conceded his omission from the starting lineup at the Allianz Arena was “the biggest disappointment” of his life, with the striker further irked at not being asked to take a penalty in the shootout even if the triumph secured by Drogba’s spot‑kick offered considerable consolation.
