Liverpool completed the ‘international treble’ in 2019 by beating Flamengo 1-0 after extra-time to win the FIFA Club World Cup.
Roberto Firmino scored the winning goal of the game in the first half of extra-time to seal the deal for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
The goal was scored when Jordan Henderson released Sadio Mane on the counter. The latter then had the presence of mind to find Firmino’s run. The Brazilian international then turned two defenders and the goalkeeper before scoring the goal.
Liverpool had chances in normal time to score, but Firmino missed two good opportunities, while Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah also missed a few big chances.
All in all, it was a game that was high on drama and commitment but it ended up going the way of the team which had more stamina to last the two hours of the match.
