A host of footage centering on outbound Liverpool star Roberto Firmino has come to the fore late on Saturday evening.
This, of course, comes after the Brazilian lined out in the colours of the Reds at Anfield for the final time.
Ahead of the imminent expiration of his contract on Merseyside this summer, Firmino, this afternoon, was introduced off the bench during Liverpool’s Premier League meeting with Aston Villa.
And, in true fairytale fashion, the frontman went on to close the iconic Anfield chapter of his career in a decisive manner, netting a last-gasp equaliser en route to a 1-1 stalemate.

Upon the full-time whistle bringing a close to proceedings on Saturday, though, smiles soon turned to tears.
This came as reality set in for Firmino and the Liverpool faithful alike, that their farewell, after a full eight years, was imminent.
I’ve gone again
