Jordan Henderson knows Liverpool have to be at their best in order to progress past Inter Milan and into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The Liverpool captain believes the Italian champions are more than capable of overturning the two-goal deficit they face.
Goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a 2-0 lead in the San Siro and a healthy advantage heading into the second leg at Anfield this evening.
But the game in Milan reinforced Henderson 's thoughts that Inter are one of the strongest sides in Europe.

“There are some games where the names speak for themselves and this is one of them. No hype is needed. Liverpool v Internazionale in the Champions League is about as big as it gets," Henderson said in his column in the matchday programme.
“It was only a few weeks ago that we met one another at the San Siro and though we took an advantage from that game, no-one who played for Liverpool that night will be under any illusions that the job is still to be done.
"We might be 2-0 up after the first leg, but it is still only half-time and Inter will feel they are very much in the tie.
“Make no mistake about it, Inter pushed us every step of the way in the game. They were aggressive, played on the front foot and basically took us on.

"The victory we earned was especially pleasing because of that, but it should not obscure the fact that it was a proper contest and we are expecting more of the same tonight.
“Inter are currently flying high in Serie A and they are there for a reason. The quality of their squad is there for all to see and it’s no surprise that they don’t lose too often."
