Andy Robertson has been some signing for Liverpool. After arriving from Hull City for just over £8million in 2017, few could have predicted that he would go on to establish himself as one of the best left backs in world football.
It is is not just his tireless work ethic and ability going forward that endears him to Liverpool fans. He is also a bit of a shithouser, which tends to go down well with supporters.
We all remember him ruffling Lionel Messi's hair at the start of that Champions League semi-final comeback last season, but that is only one example of his antics on the pitch.
We saw it again this evening.
Liverpool were frustrated by Flamengo for much of the opening half of their Club World Cup final, with the Brazilian side dominating the ball. They also grew agitated with the referee, who was fairly poor for both sides.
As the first period came to a close, Sadio Mane was given a harsh yellow card towards the end of the first period after a foul on Flamengo's Rafinha, something the Senegal international was not pleased about. The Brazilian had actually initiated the incident, and it probably should have been a foul the other way.
As they left the pitch for the interval he was reassured by Robertson, who told his teammate that not to worry, that he would sort out the opposition player.

I'll get him. Sadio, don't worry, I'll get him!
We're not sure how good Rafinha's English is, but we imagine he got the message here.
Liverpool fans will love this one.
