The Reds managed to book a semi-final date with Chelsea by the skin of their teeth, and the battling Argentine believes that maturity combined with raw willpower was what proved decisive in the end.
"We have a lot of players with experience in the Champions League and that was good for us," he told the club's official website.
"Even with our younger players, you can look them in the eye and know they have confidence and that they know what to expect. We are all together.
"Maybe that experience was a factor, but it wasn't just that. We had the determination to win, and we wanted to win."
Liverpool will meet Chelsea in the last four of the Champions League for the third time in four seasons, with the first-leg kicking off at Anfield in less than a fortnight's time.
