Flamengo manager Jorge Jesus has downplayed the quality of Liverpool and their Champions League win.

Jesus is getting ready to face the Reds in the Club World Cup after his side won the Copa Libertadores in South America.

Flamengo claimed the crown after defeating River Plate, thanks to two goals from Gabriel Barbosa.

"This final has been seen by 186 countries in the world, by millions and millions, and whoever saw it will realise the level it had," said the Flamengo boss after the game to reporters.

"(Compared to) the last Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham, this one had more technical, tactical content, and a much more beautiful colour than this final in Madrid, where I saw it live."
