Jurgen Klopp has urged his players to savour their ‘sensational’ Club World Cup success but admits they were left ‘exhausted’ following their extra-time victory over Flamengo.
Roberto Firmino’s 99th-minute strike secured victory for the Reds against the Copa Libertadores champions in Doha on Saturday, meaning the Merseyside club become just the second English side to lift the trophy in the competition’s history.
It completes a clean sweep of continental trophies for Liverpool in 2019 following their victories in the Champions League and European Super Cup.
With the side currently 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League, a first league title since 1990 is also tantalizingly within reach next May.
