• Manager hails ‘incredible performance’ against Flamengo• Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain faces anxious wait over ligamentJürgen Klopp struggled to find the words to describe Liverpool’s triumph in the Club
World Cup before settling on “outstanding” and “sensational”. Victory in extra time over Flamengo was, the
Liverpool manager said, just reward for the incredible desire his players have brought to every challenge.
Roberto Firmino’s goal decided a gripping final in Doha and delivered Liverpool’s first world title at the fourth attempt. It means Klopp’s team, 10 points clear in the
Premier League with a game in hand on second‑placed Leicester, have won the
Champions League, the Uefa Super Cup and the Club World Cup inside six months.
