Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho says the team's "tough week" is "in the past already" as they attempt a spectacular Champions League fightback.
City must overturn a 3-0 deficit from the first leg when they host Liverpool in the quarter-final return on Tuesday.
Since losing at Anfield on Wednesday, City have also lost 3-2 to Manchester United in the league.
"Now is the time for experienced players to take over and take charge," said Brazilian Fernandinho, 32.
Liverpool scored three times in 19 first-half minutes in the first leg.
If Jurgen Klopp's side manage an away goal at Etihad Stadium, City will have to score at least five times to progress to the last four.
Only two teams in Champions League history have overturned a deficit of three goals or more from the first leg in the knockout stages.
Deportivo La Coruna trailed AC Milan 4-1 in quarter-final in 2004 before advancing 5-4 on aggregate after winning 4-0 in Spain.
More recently, Barcelona overturned a 4-0 last-16 deficit against Paris St-Germain by winning 6-1 in the second leg at the Nou Camp last season.
