If this is a win that is to ultimately mean anything in Liverpool's grand plan for glory, then they must now ensure it is their name on the FA Cup on May 14. There is no other option from here on in.
This was a statement victory over Manchester City that will only embolden those who are firm in their belief that Jurgen Klopp's men can in fact sweep the board between now and the end of May. Another final beckons and they can sit back with their feet up on Easter Sunday as Chelsea meet Crystal Palace for the right to face them here again at Wembley in a month. Now, the task is clear - deliver a first FA Cup since 2006.
But for now, even if the quadruple quest and its unrelenting run-in means it can only be a fleeting sensation, Jurgen Klopp can toast to another memorable day out and a performance over City that could yet be hugely psychological in the coming weeks.
