Liverpool fans notice clever Everton nod in Roberto Firmino’s newly unveiled Anfield mural

by ·

Merseyside witnessed the unveiling of a special tribute to Liverpool legend Roberto Firmino, as a stunning mural appeared on the side of a house near Anfield. However, amidst the celebration, sharp-eyed fans quickly noticed an unexpected detail that added a touch of irony to the artwork.

Situated merely a stone’s throw away from the iconic stadium, the mural found its place on the house of an ardent Everton supporter. The irony was not lost on the fans who discovered this minor hiccup.

Earlier this season, it was announced that the Brazilian forward, who amassed an impressive tally of 110 goals for Liverpool, would be departing after an illustrious eight-year tenure with the Reds. In a fitting finale at Anfield, Firmino secured a crucial point for his team with a last-gasp equalizer against Aston Villa, potentially influencing their pursuit of Champions League football next season.

Following the match, Firmino, along with Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner, received a heartwarming guard of honor as a token of gratitude for their service. Among them, Firmino garnered the loudest cheers from the home crowd, a testament to the cherished memories he created during his time at the club.

While the involvement of the Everton fan in the mural’s creation remains unknown, it’s safe to assume they were less than thrilled to see Firmino’s face adorning the side of their house, not once but twice.

Fans wasted no time in reacting to the peculiar situation, expressing their amusement and disbelief at the Everton sticker prominently displayed on the window, accompanied by the club’s famous motto, ‘Nil Satis Nisi Optimum’ (nothing but the best is good enough). It appears that Evertonians can’t escape a touch of Liverpool’s influence, even within the confines of their own home.

One witty Liverpool supporter quipped, “Probably the first reference to Everton on the Champions League account in ages.” Another added, “Evertonians can’t catch a break, even in their own house.”

Firmino himself paid a visit to the mural, greeted by resounding chants of his signature “Si Senor” and even leaving his mark by signing the wall, symbolizing the end of his era at Liverpool.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also took notice of the Firmino-inspired artwork on his way to the home game against Villa. During a press conference, Klopp expressed his appreciation, saying, “What the people did anyway, like the mural for Bobby Firmino… It’s a big gesture, I have to say, really big.”

The juxtaposition of Firmino’s farewell mural on the Everton supporter’s house adds a touch of irony and humor to the occasion, creating a unique moment that both Liverpool and Everton fans won’t soon forget.
