Pepe Reina today warned Germany that Fernando Torres is ready to break their hearts for the second time.
The 26-year-old striker has so far failed to score in five South Africa outings and by his own admission has yet to reach full fitness following knee surgery in April.
But speaking ahead of Wednesday's semi-final clash with Joachim Low's men, Reina backed his clubmate to repeat his Euro 2008 final heroics by ending German hopes of glory.
"Torres is a fully mature guy now and has experienced both tough and sweet moments in his career and knows that's the way football goes," said the goalkeeper.
"He knows he enjoys the confidence of the coach, the players and he has strong self confidence. He won us the final against Germany last time and we all hope he repeats that this time."
