Steven Gerrard is determined not to waste Liverpool's big chance against Marseille on Tuesday.
Reds skipper issues rallying call
Steven Gerrard is confident Liverpool will get the victory they need against Marseille to progress in the UEFA Champions League.
The Reds' prospects of reaching the last 16 looked bleak after a home defeat to the French side and another loss away to Besiktas.
Successive wins against Besiktas and Porto have set up a must-win clash at Stade Velodrome and Gerrard believes Liverpool's experience in pressure situations will prove vital in the south of France.
"If you'd told me five minutes after the final whistle against Marseille at Anfield we would go into the last game knowing a win would secure our qualification, I would have bitten your hand off at that offer," said Gerrard.
"It was even worse when we lost to Besiktas. We knew then we had a real uphill struggle, but after our recent performances in the competition we know it's up to ourselves again.
"We're a different side and a lot more confident than the one which lost to Marseille at home.
"Everyone remembers Olympiakos, so our experiences in the past will help.
"The big difference this time is we're not at home, so that's going to make it tougher, but we're playing good football, winning games and scoring goals.
Pressure
"The pressure will be on Marseille as much as us this time. We know we're always expected to go through to the knockout stage, but after they beat us at Anfield and we lost in Turkey, we weren't favourites to qualify.
"They must have hoped we would be out of it by now and they would already be through, but fortunately it hasn't turned out that way.
"For them not to be sure of going through after already beating us once must worry them, so we've got to take advantage of the chance we've given ourselves."
