​Firmino, Alisson will help Liverpool with Flamengo - Lallana

Liverpool star Adam Lallana says everyone in the team is motivated to win the Club World Cup final.

The Reds face off against Brazilian side Flamengo, who won the Copa Libertadores.

Liverpool edged past North American side Monterrey in the semi finals with a 2-1 win.

And Lallana hopes having Brazilians in their squad will give them some inside information on Flamengo's qualities ahead of the game.

"We are European champions and [we want] to be World Club champions," Lallana told reporters.

"There's not many people who can say that. We are going to give it our all.

"I'm sure Bobby and Alisson (Brazilians Roberto Firmino and Alisson Becker) will give us some inside info on them [Flamengo].

"We watched them the other day: they were very dynamic, very aggressive, physical, we will have to recover quickly.

"We are just going to concentrate on ourselves. That's all we ever do. We respect the opposition, we will analyse them.

"It's all about recovery now and [come out] all guns blazing for Saturday. Another trophy is up for grabs at the weekend so bring it on. We are here in a final so let's go for it."
