Jordan Henderson believes Liverpool sent out a message to their European rivals with a ruthless performance that showed how quickly they are learning.
Liverpool are all but in the Champions League quarter-finals thanks to a 5-0 first leg victory over Porto.
They are the heaviest scorers in the competition and their tally, which includes the qualifying game against Hoffenheim, now stands at 34.
What stood out about the performance in Portugal, though, was the defensive resolution Liverpool displayed and Henderson was quick to explain how they have moved on from a game in Seville last November to show much more maturity.
