Roberto Firmino was seen giving away his shirt to a Rangers ball boy moments after he helped his Liverpool side dismantle the Glasgow outfit at Ibrox on Wednesday night, as posted by the UEFA Champions League’s official Twitter account.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst would have found the game a tough watch as Rangers suffered a 7-1 defeat in front of their own fans, as Firmino bagged himself a brace and an assist.
Even though the Gers went into the break level with their British counterparts, it all turned on its head in the second half.
That’s what happens when you have players of Firmino’s ilk starting, then Mohamed Salah coming off the bench and scoring a hat-trick in his sleep.
Whilst Rangers fans wouldn’t have enjoyed the performances from either of those players, they would have loved Firmino’s actions after the full-time whistle.
As you can see below, he gives a young fan his match-worn shirt, which would no doubt be something to show off with to his mates.
FIRMINO ON FIRE
Whilst Liverpool have had many questions asked of them this season, one player who can’t be faulted is Firmino.
He has been outstanding in those forward areas and if he didn’t equalise less than ten minutes after Scott Arfield’s opener, then it probably would have been a far more difficult night for his team.
But Firmino headed in from a corner to shut down the boisterous Glasgow crowd, before his off-the-ball movement was too hot to handle for Rangers’ defence when he put his side ahead following a cross from Joe Gomez in the second half.
That’s a pill Rangers, the fans, players and the manager just have to swallow because they were up against a Jurgen Klopp team at its very best, especially in the second half.
