Winning Club World Cup like "landing on the moon" - Liverpool boss Klopp

Liverpool attempt to win the Club World Cup for the first time in their history this evening and manager Jurgen Klopp has likened the task to "landing on the moon".

The Champions League holders take on Brazilian side Flamengo in the final in Qatar.

Klopp is determined to lift the trophy, but knows they won't have much time to enjoy any success:

"I don't know how you approach something that has never been done before - like landing on the moon.

"We are playing against a side from a country and continent where this competition means everything to everyone and, in England, we have to explain why we come here.

"That's how Europe looks at the world, that we are the centre of attention.

"Who cares? (if Liverpool do not get the credit) Really, you do not win something so people will say, 'Oh, you won it'.

"You win it to celebrate it, and I know Liverpool fans will celebrate like crazy, and other people will say, 'Who cares'.

"I could not care less. You do not win to show the whole world we are here.

"You get it and then we will say it is nice. I don't know if you can keep it or get a replica, but it would still just be nice to achieve something, doing it the best way you can."
