The Spaniard is convinced that the Reds can sneak the title but knows they'll virtually have to win every game from now on to do so.
Liverpool crushed Aston Villa 5-0 at Anfield last Sunday to move within striking distance of Manchester United. And with the pressure mounting on Sir Alex Ferguson's men, Reds winger Albert Riera says his side have renewed confidence in overhauling their bitter rivals by the time all is said and done this season.
"The feelings on the pitch are really well and we are in a great situation to fight, and when you are behind somebody I think the pressure is for the other team," boomed Riera on Sky Sports News.
"Of course we have to wait as they are still in front of us, but we have a lot of confidence in ourselves and really good feelings.
"They are one point in front of us and have to play one match more than us as well, but the next two months we have a lot of important matches in the Premier League and Champions League, matches with a lot of pressure and we will be there waiting that they will not win every single match.
"We have to win every single match and I promised a long time ago we would fight for the title and this is the promise we can do because to fight is compulsory and we will see at the end.
"We have a lot of confidence, a lot of good feelings and we will see what happens at the end of the season.
"Liverpool are playing really, really well in this moment," he added for emphasis, referring to the fact that their last three outings have resulted in staggering scorelines against Real Madrid, United and Villa.
"The season is really, really complicated and you have to play well. The reality is you have to play ten months at the highest level and sometimes it is very, very difficult.
"For example we started really well, we were on the top of the table. After December and January we had some problems making a lot of draws at home but not losing.
"I think we were just not playing really well and the other teams wanted to beat who was top of the table that we were before.
"Now we are in a different position, but in a great position to fight for the title.
"We are one point behind Manchester United and we are really confident that this is the most important time."
