We're all believers now, says Gerrard

After being runners-up last season and European Cup winners for a fifth time two years earlier, the Anfield skipper is adamant his side are ready to take on all-comers.
Euro star: Gerrard says Liverpool can conquer Europe
He said: "No matter who we are up against, we always think we are going to get through. That's how confident we are about our ability in Europe.
"I think the other teams are more worried about us, because we've proved over the past two or three years that we're one of the best sides in the competition.
"We're in for two really tough games against Arsenal, but we've got nothing to fear. We just need to go there and give it our best shot, and that is what we will do."
Fernando Torres' second-half strike at San Siro finished off Inter Milan in the last round, and Liverpool's 28-goal leading scorer is determined to deliver again.
"It will be important for us to try and get a goal at the Emirates to put us in a good position for the return leg," he said. "It is going to be difficult, but that will be the target. I don't think Arsenal's form has been as good as earlier in the season, so we must try and take our chance."
Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas is well aware of the danger from his Spain colleague Torres.
The midfielder said: "When a player arrives in England there are always doubts about whether he can adapt, but he is performing to an incredible level.
"This style of football fits him like a glove. He is strong, quick, powerful, he can finish and, above all, he knows how to create space for himself, which is fundamental here.
"We will be rivals during these three games but we are good friends. In the Spain squad there have been a few jokes. Torres says that he is going to score against us, but I prefer to keep quiet and do my talking on the pitch."
