Adam Lallana has called the pursuit of trophies an addiction for Liverpool and the chance to win the Club World Cup for the first time a huge incentive for Jürgen Klopp’s team. The European champions face Flamengo of Brazil in Saturday’s final having overcome the Concacaf champions, Monterrey, in a hard-fought semi-final. However, Lallana insisted the opportunity to add the Club World Cup to the Champions League and Uefa Super Cup more than compensates for the domestic difficulties it has created. “We are European champions and to be world club champions as well – there’s not many people who can say that. We have done the first bit by getting to the final and now we want to win it.
