Defender Dejan Lovren has said that he was impressed with how Liverpool dealt with the closing stages of their Champions League success in Porto.
Liverpool established a three-goal advantage early in the second half but in the past, Jurgen Klopp's side have given up clear leads in both domestic and European action.
However, the Merseyside giants went on to register a 5-0 victory, leaving Lovren to praise the mentality of the first-team squad.
The 28-year-old is quoted by The Guardian as saying: "When you are 2-0, 3-0 up you think it is over but it is not and you still have a lot to play.
"We showed quality and character and from everyone it was brilliant. We have so much quality that we can beat everyone if we are on our top level – simple as that."
The second leg of the last-16 tie is scheduled to take place at Anfield on March 6.
