Masch: Liverpool must stay on form

Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano has called on his teammates to try and retain the club's impressive form that has helped them into the Quarter Finals of the Champions League after an impressive 3-0 aggregate win over Inter Milan.

"It was a very good result for the team and it is one of the best. It was amazing for the players, for the supporters and for everyone at the club," the 23-year-old said on the club’s official website.

"Now we want to progress in this competition. We are playing well and confidence is high so we have to keep up our form.

"It doesn't matter who we get next. It will be a difficult game for us but it will also be a difficult game for them. After a result like this we have to believe that we can go further in the competition.

"It is all about working really hard for one another and playing as a team. That is the only way you can get results like we have had against teams like Barcelona and Inter Milan. Liverpool is one of the best clubs in the world so we have to prove this on the pitch.

"The history of the club is so special, everyone around the world knows the history and we have a very good record in Europe. We are just doing our best to try and create more history."
