Thiago Alcantara is relishing the most “exciting” month of his career as Liverpool prepare for a crunch April schedule.
Jurgen Klopp’s side face eight matches in April as they strive to pull off an unprecedented quadruple.
The Reds are in the hunt for the Premier League title, the FA Cup and Champions League glory after lifting the EFL Cup.
They face leaders Manchester City in the Premier League and an FA Cup semi-final against Pep Guardiola’s side following two Champions League quarter-final showdowns with Benfica.
Spain midfielder Thiago is excited about playing in so many matches with so much at stake.
“The other day I was talking with some friends about it,” he told the club’s official website.
“I never had, in the years that I have been involved in football, I never had a month so exciting like this with such important and exciting matches every three days. So it will be amazing.
“For sure it is exciting because you are competing against the best, in the best competitions as well, but also because it reminds you that we are in finals.
“It looks like a World Cup, a European Cup, where every game is a final. With that we are in a one-mission mood and we are there.”
Liverpool can go top of the table if they avoid defeat to Watford at Anfield on Sunday, with City travelling to Burnley later in the day.
Thiago does not believe that would give the Merseyside club a psychological boost in the title race.
“No, I don’t think so,” he added. “I don’t think to see us on top before City plays would be a boost.
“No, it’s just that we are in a moment where every three points count and we are really glad to arrive at this position and fight and depend on us.”
