Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani has hailed captain Steven Gerrard and striker Fernando Torres as he aims for a Champions League place.
The Italian scored one and made another for Torres during the Reds' 4-1 destruction of Portsmouth on Monday night.
And the emphasis is to continue moving forward with the help of the star duo.
"It's such a pleasure playing with Torres. Everything becomes easier with him. And with Gerrard. [They are] two special champions," he told La Gazzetta Dello Sport, as reported by Romagiallorossa.com.
"I have waited plenty, but I am happy for the win that has taken Liverpool up to fifth place.
"We are hoping to finish in the Champions League places, and we must continue winning like this."
Liverpool clash with Manchester United on Sunday, but before that they take on Lille at Anfield in the Europa League on Thursday needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.
