Jürgen Klopp outlined Liverpool’s determination to become the first squad in the club’s history to lift the FIFA Club World Cup, but dismissed any suggestions they are favourites for the tournament.
The Reds will contest their first game of the competition in Qatar on Wednesday evening when they take on Mexican side Monterrey in the semi-final at the Khalifa International Stadium.
Should they progress, either Flamengo or Al Hilal will await them in Saturday’s final.
It’s a competition Liverpool have never won before – and Klopp, therefore, appreciates the significance of bringing the trophy back to Merseyside.
