Michael Owen took to social media to congratulate Liverpool FC on winning the Club World Cup for the first time in their history on Saturday night.

The Brazilian attacker produced a cool finish inside the box to claim the victory for Jurgen Klopp’s men as they were crowned world champions following their Champions League triumph back in June.
