'Liverpool will benefit from 'special' Club World Cup'

Florent Sinama-Pongolle hopes this current Liverpool team can achieve something he wasn't able to when Jürgen Klopp's side take part in the FIFA Club World Cup next month.

Sinama-Pongolle was part of Rafael Benitez's Champions League-winning squad that travelled to Japan in 2005 to compete in the tournament that pits together the winners of FIFA's six confederations.

But a heartbreaking defeat in the Yokohama final meant the Reds missed out on the much-desired FIFA Champions Badge.

Benitez's men side beat Costa Rican outfit Deportivo Saprissa in a last-four tie before encountering Sao Paulo in the tournament showpiece that ended 1-0.
