Liverpool are celebrating their maiden FIFA Club World Cup title.

Jurgen Klopp's men won the final against Brazilian side Flamengo 1-0 after extra time, thanks to Roberto Firmino's strike.

The English Premier League team has added the world title to its sixth Champions League trophy collected in June.

Meanwhile, Mexican club Monterrey clinched bronze after beating Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal on penalties.

Goalkeeper Luis Cardenas was the hero as he saved two and then scored the winning spot-kick, following a 2-2 draw in normal time.
