Roberto Firmino made his last appearance at Anfield for the Reds and bid farewell to the Liverpool fans after their draw against Aston Villa.

James Milner and Firmino were both honoured by Liverpool during the Reds' final home game of the season as part of their club's tribute to two of their longest-tenured players.

Banners were erected before the game, and both players received thunderous applause when their names were announced. Both guys were on the substitutes' bench for a pivotal game.

The Brazilian was brought in as a substitute in the second half and scored the equaliser for Liverpool against Aston Villa as they failed to secure a win in the race for the Champions League

Firmino in tears during farewell

Firmino was in tears as he was cheered by players and fans as he waved goodbye after spending eight years at the club. 

The 31-year-old arrived at the club in 2015 before Jurgen Klopp took over. He helped Liverpool lift the Champions League title in 2019 as well as a Premier League title the following year. 

The Brazilian is set to leave the club at the end of the season including some players after giving their service to the club.

Firmino’s next destination unclear

Firmino is yet to decide where he will be playing next season after deciding to leave the club at the end of the current campaign. 

The Liverpool forward has made 371 matches and scored 107 goals in his seven years at the club. 

With the Brazilian set to leave Anfield at the end of the season, his next destination is still unknown and clubs in Europe will be monitoring him as he decides his next team.
