They are the champions of Europe. They are relentless in their pursuit of excellence in the round leather game. They have therefore kept on winning. They are now the champions of the world as well, that is, the planet's pre-eminent soccer club. They are winning the trophy for the first time in their history.
They achieved the feat on Saturday at the Khalifa International Stadium, Doha where they beat South American champions Flamengo 1 - 0 after extra time. The goal that settled the duel was scored by Roberto Firmino after 110 minutes of brilliant soccer by both sides.
Should they continue to play the way they are doing, the chances are that they will end the 30-year wait for a Premier League title by the club. They are beginning to make winning trophies a habit. Long may it continue.
