What Roberto Firmino sang with Liverpool fans on visit to Anfield mural

Roberto Firmino today returned to Anfield and sung his iconic chant with supporters in attendance.

The Brazilian forward completed his final match on home soil yesterday during Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, scoring late on having been deployed from the bench by Jurgen Klopp.

Later given a guard of honour after the full-time whistle, the 31-year-old was seen in tears on the pitch as he came to terms with his special eight-year career at the club coming to an end.

The impact of Firmino over the course of his time on Merseyside has not been lost on fans, who made sure to show their appreciation to the attacker inside the stadium. Efforts were this week made to ensure the Reds' No.9 would be thanked for his contributions, with a mural dedicated to the out-of-contract star appearing a stone's throw away from Anfield.

Klopp, speaking after yesterday's draw, admitted Firmino had been 'blown away' after spotting the artwork on the way to the stadium. “The mural for Bobby Firmino, yesterday we drove to the stadium because we leave our cars here. We pass it, it is not finished yet and in the middle of something, but I think, ‘Wow!’ How often these people do the right things in the right moments is absolutely insane," said the Reds' boss. "It was a big, big gesture and Bobby was blown away. Really big gesture I have to say, really big.”

Venturing down to view the mural in the flesh this afternoon, Firmino was greeted by supporters upon arrival and soon after joined in with their rendition of 'Si Senor' - as shown above in RedmenTV's video.

Yet to announce his next club as he prepares to partake in his last game for Liverpool next weekend, it goes without saying the former Hoffenheim star will be greatly missed.
