Liverpool's official countdown of the club's 100 greatest players has been announced in reverse order, with Firmino ranked 22nd.

Earlier this year, Liverpool invited fans, former players, journalists, and a club panel to vote on and collectively determine the final rankings for "Liverpool's 100 Greatest Players in Club History" through 2026.

Selection criteria were based on individual player ability, impact, historical significance, and achievements during their time at Liverpool.

This reverse-order countdown will culminate in a special live broadcast programme in early July, when the top five and the champion—who will be crowned "Liverpool's Greatest Player in Club History"—will be announced.

Roberto Firmino won over Liverpool fans with his exceptional talent and tireless work ethic.

"Bobby" regularly mesmerised supporters at Anfield with his distinctive Brazilian technique, while his relentless work rate off the ball earned him thunderous ovations time and again.

His eight seasons in a Reds shirt were filled with goals, dazzling skill, trophies, and infectious smiles.

In summer 2015, Liverpool beat off considerable competition to sign Firmino from Hoffenheim. But it was Klopp's arrival later that year that truly made him shine on Merseyside.

Firmino was deployed in a unique number 9 role—a tactical innovation many teams attempted to replicate but never quite mastered.

Described by Klopp as the "heart and soul" of the team, Firmino's performances reached new heights following the arrivals of Salah and Mané.

This front three struck fear into opponents across England, Europe, and the world, and Firmino's ability, dedication, and selflessness formed the foundation of all their success.

He consistently delivered spectacular moments of genius: no-look shots, back-heel finishes, lobs, delicate chip shots, clever movement, and nimble turns.

In 2019, Firmino helped Liverpool win the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in their history. He scored in the semi-final and scored the only goal in the final held in Qatar.

This was one of six major trophies he won during his time in a Reds shirt, also including the 2019 UEFA Champions League and the 2019–20 Premier League title.

His creativity earned him special admiration from supporters, who created the hugely popular "Si Señor" chant dedicated exclusively to him. This song echoed through Anfield repeatedly, a fitting tribute to Firmino himself—something that never gets old.

After expressing his desire for a new challenge, fans in the Anfield stands had one more thing to say during the remainder of the 2022–23 season.

As the chant declared, "the best in the world" received a standing ovation and heartfelt thanks from supporters in recognition of everything he had given and dedicated to the club.

Firmino reflected: "When I first arrived here, it was difficult to adapt to the climate, the style of football, and everything else. It's similar for every player.

But thank God, we achieved everything we wanted here—we won every trophy we could win together. None of this would have been possible without my teammates, my family, and my manager. I'm incredibly proud of this history and very proud of everything we achieved together."
