Liverpool) stars have given fans an insight into the dressing room scenes after they were crowned world champions for the first time after seeing off Flamengo in Doha.

Before half time, footage emerged of Robertson telling Mane that he would exact revenge on Flamengo star Rafinha after the former Bayern Munich man got the Senegalese booked.
Rafinha was also caught up in VAR controversy, when he appeared to foul Mane moments before the full time whistle with the referee awarding a penalty. However, video technology intervened and the decision was overturned.
But while the players were celebrating in the changing rooms, manager Klopp will be acutely aware of the heavy fixture schedule his Side are set to return to, as well as having to add another name to a lengthy list of injury absentees.
Liverpool will return to England and face Leicester City on Boxing Day in a table topping Premier League clash. The Foxes were unable to close the gap on the league leaders on Saturday, falling to defeat at Manchester City.

That fixture is followed by a home game against high-flying Wolves at Anfield, who came from behind to defeat Norwich City 2 -1 at Carrow Road.
The German is facing something of a midfield conundrum after England international Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was forced off in the second half of the final with what appears to be an ankle injury. Tests are yet to return on the seriousness of the former Arsenal man’s knock.
However, Oxlade-Chamberlain is unlikely to be available for the Leicester game leaving Klopp with limited options in midfield as he is already without Fabinho and possibly Georginio Wijnaldum, who came off in the win over Watford with a hamstring issue.
For now, Klopp was eager to enjoy the moment. ‘In moments like this, I struggle to find words when not in my native language,’ Klopp said on Saturday night. ‘The players’ desire to win the next game and win the next challenge.’**************
