Roberto Firmino reaction caught on camera as Liverpool fans chant for 11 minutes straight

Liverpool supporters showed their love for Roberto Firmino as they serenaded the Brazilian during the second half against Leicester City.

The forward will close the chapter on his eight-year stay at Anfield at the end of the season when his contract expires with the Reds. It was confirmed in March that the 31-year-old will not be penning an extension to continue his stint in Jurgen Klopp's side sparking the countdown to his final farewell in a red shirt.
