Roberto Firmino Leaves As A Liverpool Player 'Very Proud' Of Everything Achieved

The 31-year-old salvaged a point with an 89th-minute equaliser against Villa to keep alive the Reds' faint hopes of securing Champions League football next season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are three points behind Newcastle United and Manchester United who are third and fourth respectively in the league with one game remaining, 

This means both clubs need just one point from their final two games to finish in the top-four. 

The goal was Firmino's 110th for the club, having racked up 361 appearances during his eight years with the Merseyside club.

The Brazil forward said as quoted by Liverpoolfc.com: “In the beginning when I arrived it was hard to adapt to the climate, the football, everything. As for every player, it’s the same."

“But thank you, God, we achieved everything here, we won everything together. Without my teammates, my family, the manager, you cannot do this. I’m very proud of the history, for everything we achieved together.”

“Yes, unfortunately, we didn’t get the win, it wasn’t the result that you want.

“But the last game at home with the fans, my family here, everyone, friends, I was very emotional and happy for this, to score my last goal at home. With this shirt, this big club, I’m very happy.”

Naby Keita, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who also bid farewell to L4 as they are expected to leave this summer when their contracts expire.
