Roberto Firmino marked the end of his Liverpool journey with a goal against Aston Villa in their 1-1 draw at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
To say goodbye to Anfield with a goal, was fitting for Firmino, a proven goal scorer who lives Liverpool with 110 goals in his name.
Firmino featured 361 times for Liverpool, and won seven medals, including the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
The 31-year-old Brazilian forward spent eight years at Anfield.
He said as much as it was hard to adapt to the environment and the type of football played, he is grateful to have achieved so much with the club.
"In the beginning when I arrived it was hard to adapt to the climate, the football, everything. As for every player, it’s the same," Firmino told liverpoolfc.com.
"But thank you God, we achieved everything here, we won everything together. Without my teammates, my family, the manager, you cannot do this. I’m very proud of the history, for everything we achieved together."

On scoring in his last game for the club, Firmino said although they didn't win, he was happy to score a goal in his final Anfield appearance on a Liverpool shirt.
"Yes, unfortunately we didn’t get the win, it wasn’t the result that you want.
"But the last game at home with the fans, my family here, everyone, friends, I was very emotional and happy for this, to score my last goal at home. With this shirt, this big club, I’m very happy."
