Liverpool supporters showed their love for Roberto Firmino when they serenaded the Brazilian during the second half against Leicester City.
The striker will close the chapter on his eight-year stay at Anfield at the end of the season, when his contract with the Reds expires. It was confirmed in March that the 31-year-old will not write an extension to continue his spell in Jurgen Klopp’s side, kicking off the countdown to his final red-shirt farewell.
Despite being injured in recent weeks, the Brazilian is set to take part in the penultimate game of the season, Liverpool’s final home game of the season, against Aston Villa on Saturday.

The chant was soon broken as Trent Alexander-Arnold curled superbly past Daniel Iversen to blast the Reds into a three-goal lead. A win for Liverpool would keep the pressure on Manchester United and Newcastle United in the race for the top four.
