Roberto Firmino uses Liverpool team bus to take wife Larissa, family and friends on VIP tour after final game at Anfield
LIVERPOOL hero Roberto Firmino used the club’s team bus to take his family and friends on a VIP tour following his final Anfield goodbye.
The Brazilian, 31, scored a late equaliser against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon in what was his last home game in front of the Reds faithful.
Less than 24 hours later, he was suited and booted outside his Cheshire home as he prepared for a special trip on the Liverpool coach.
He could be seen hand in hand with wife Larissa as his kids also joined him for the occasion.
A host of family and friends were also spotted stepping onto the bus for the exclusive tour.
And Firmino was in high spirits as he posed for photos with neighbours as they came out to get a glimpse of the forward and the huge Liverpool bus.
He also signed autographs for those who stood patiently by the coach for a moment with the cult hero.
And they ended up celebrating Firmino’s time at Liverpool with a sit-down meal.
The wife of Liverpool keeper, Natalia, shared an image of the menu – which included soup, steak, ravioli, ice cream and chocolate.
Firmino is bidding farewell after a sensational eight-year stint on Merseyside.

Firmino has racked up 361 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 110 goals and providing 79 assists.
Among the trophies he has won include the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
And it proved to be an emotional goodbye following the 1-1 draw with Villa.
Firmino was seen tearing up as he took in the adulation from the supporters.
The Anfield faithful proudly sung his name at the top of their voices to create an incredibly poignant moment.
James Milner came off the bench with Firmino in what was also his final Anfield game.
Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are the other players departing the club this summer, but they did not feature in the matchday squad.
Along with his on-field brilliance, he has also become a much-loved character off the pitch.
One reason for that is the trademark white teeth that glisten in a similar vein to those of manager Jurgen Klopp.
And his dentist, Dr Robbie Hughes, revealed earlier this week that the South American attacker asked for a “super-white” colour which they made specially for him.
Since getting them done, the dentist has had a host of requests for the “Bobby Dazzlers”.
