Firmino’s mum’s emotional reaction

Reds fans adopted the chant ‘Si Senor’ for Firmino and sang it loudly ahead of the 2019 UEFA Champions League final against Tottenham, which they won.

The video was shown to the 31-year-old’s mum, Mariana, who was emotional and thanked the fans for the song, as seen in a video by Liverpool Events Group Boss Night on Twitter.

“They’re singing a song with my son’s name. It’s beautiful to hear it and when we’re there, Marcella. I don’t know how to thank you for the love, and for everything everyone has done. It leaves me speechless. Thank you all so much for this,” she said.

Firmino is yet to decide on his next destination, but there are rumours around him replacing Karim Benzema at Real Madrid, and also Barcelona and Saudi Arabian clubs are in the links.
