Liverpool followed the same instruction almost to the letter last season in their thrilling pursuit of the quadruple. This time around, though, when uttered by Jurgen Klopp the context was completely different.
"Our job is to squeeze absolutely everything out of the season what is possible," said the Reds boss in the Bernabeu last Wednesday evening as he sought to swiftly move on from the Champions League exit to Real Madrid.
Ensuring their place in Europe's elite competition for a seventh season in a row - not since the glory days of the 1970s and 1980s have the Reds managed such a feat - is the sole remaining aim for Klopp's side when they begin their Premier League run-in at champions Manchester City on Saturday week.
