Today Reds prepare for Premier League war, Henderson shows he's more than a captain - Liverpool news round-up
What a weekend it’s been for Liverpool, who can now call themselves world champions following their FIFA Club World Cup triumph.
The Reds rounded off a spectacular 2019 with another trophy as they earned a hard-fought 1-0 win over Flamengo in Qatar, and things the Premier League continued in their absence as their nearest rivals battled it out back at home.
There’s plenty to digest, so why not take a look back at some of our top stories?
Reds prepare for bigger war
Liverpool are of course the newly-crowned world champions, having made yet another addition to their 2019 trophy haul in Qatar.
Roberto Firmino’s stoppage time goal means the Reds return to Merseyside with the one title that’s been missing from their trophy cabinet over the years.
But there’s no time to celebrate, as attentions turn back to their bid for a long-awaited league title, and first up is their big Boxing Day encounter with Leicester City.
The Reds have been phenomenal in their journey to becoming European and world champions in 2019, but now they face their biggest challenge.
World champions find unexpected quality
More from the Reds’ triumph out in Qatar, and Enis Yucekoralp spotted the Reds’ take on something of an unexpected quality to be crowned world champions.
With the final being played thousands of miles away from either side’s home, you might have expected something of a neutral atmosphere – far from it.
Liverpool had to dig deep against factors such as supporter ratios and refereeing performances to emerge victorious. In many ways it was like a European away display.
Why Henderson is more than a captain
What a year it’s been for Jordan Henderson. As Liverpool captain, he’s lifted three major trophies, and in the process even developed his own signature lift.
On the pitch, he’s grown in stature and importance to the Reds, as made evident by his performance in the Club World Cup final.
The captain embodied everything Liverpool is to get his team over the line. In many ways, he is now much more than a captain..
The Ox’s injury curse strikes again
In among all the celebrations in Qatar, there was one major setback for Liverpool as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was forced off injured, and later appeared on crutches.
The former Arsenal man has already had to deal with one huge injury setback since making the move to Anfield.
But the midfielder’s injury curse has struck again, at the time his momentum and playing time at Liverpool was just starting to increase.
2019: The year of the Henderson shuffle
We’ve already mentioned Jordan Henderson’s trademark trophy lift, but we doubt any Liverpool fan will ever get enough of it!
From the moment he stepped in front of his team-mates to lift the Champions League trophy, the captain has cemented himself in the club’s folklore.
His shuffle has become synonymous to the three trophies in six months Liverpool has won. Let’s hope we see plenty more of it!
The unseen factor in Liverpool’s celebrations
We’ll never tire of seeing the Reds celebrating another trophy. The bond that has developed among Jurgen Klopp’s squad is an absolute joy to behold.
But after the win over Flamengo, there was an unseen factor in Liverpool's latest celebrations, with Harvey Elliott in among the players.
The decision to fly Harvey Elliot out to join the squad celebrations is a big indication of the investment and hope there is in the youngster.
Man City and Leicester show why they’re behind Reds
While Liverpool were on their way to becoming world champions, their closest rivals in the Premier League were battling it out between themselves.
