Liverpool's official countdown of the club's 100 greatest players is underway, with Firmino ranking 22nd.

Earlier this year, Liverpool Football Club invited fans, former players, journalists, and a club panel of judges to vote and determine the final ranking of the "100 Greatest Liverpool Players of All Time" by 2026.

Roberto Firmino won the hearts of Liverpool supporters with his exceptional talent and tireless work rate.

"Bobby" frequently delighted the Anfield crowd with his Brazilian flair and technique, while his relentless work without the ball earned him thunderous and repeated applause.

His eight seasons wearing the Reds shirt were filled with goals, impressive skills, trophies, and beaming smiles.

In summer 2015, Liverpool beat numerous rivals to sign Firmino from Hoffenheim. However, it was Jürgen Klopp's arrival later that year that truly allowed him to flourish at Merseyside.

Firmino was deployed in a unique striker role, a tactical approach that many teams attempted to replicate but never truly mastered.

As Klopp described him, the "heart and soul" of the team, Firmino's performances reached new heights after Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané joined the club.

This formidable attacking trio terrorised opponents in England, Europe, and around the world, and Firmino's skill, commitment, and unselfishness were at the core of all that success.

He consistently delivered moments of brilliance—sometimes unexpected, sometimes unprecedented: blind passes, heel flicks, chip passes, delicate dribbles, intelligent evasions, and quick turns.

In 2019, Firmino helped Liverpool win the Club World Cup for the first time in the club's history. He scored in the semi-final and netted the only goal in the final in Qatar.

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

His creativity also earned him recognition from supporters, who composed the popular and catchy anthem "Si Señor" specifically for him. That song echoed around Anfield repeatedly, much like Firmino himself—perpetually captivating.

After indicating his desire for a new challenge, the fans in Anfield's stands had one last thing to say to him for the remainder of the 2022–23 season.

As the chant proclaimed, the "best in the world" received overwhelming applause and gratitude from supporters in recognition of everything he had done and contributed to the team.

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

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