Klopp’s side were without talismanic centre-back Virgil van Dijk for their semi-final against Monterrey but took an early lead courtesy of Naby Keita.
However, Van Dijk’s absence did then begin to tell as Rogelio Funes Mori equalised just three minutes later, while Alisson was forced to make a number of key saves.
Yet Roberto Firmino diverted the threat of extra-time in the final minutes of the match as he turned home Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross.
Here is all the information you need for the final.

The final takes place at 5.30pm on Saturday 21 December in Qatar.

What Klopp said about Flamengo
“With Jorge Jesus as a manager, of course there’s a European influence and that’s it, but the players themselves already have quality. If there would not be a European coach, it would already be difficult. With Jorge Jesus, (he is) very experienced, very successful in Portugal and now in Brazil as well.
“We have a lot of respect for that but at the end we will try our best and we will see how it will work out.”
