It is an honor the Anfield side had never claimed before, but which is now theirs after Roberto Firmino’s extra-time goal secured a 1-0 victory over Flamengo in a hard-fought Club World Cup final in Doha. “The year 2019 for the club has been outstanding, but we shouldn’t be satisfied with it,” defender Virgil van Dijk said. The Club World Cup is not held in the highest regard in Europe, coming in the middle of a busy club season. However, the Premier League is the one they really have in their sights as they seek a first English title since 1990. As well as the trophies this year, Klopp’s team have not lost a Premier League game since their first outing of the year against Manchester City.
