In the second episode, Firmino reflects on uprooting to Hoffenheim after flourishing in the Brazilian second tier with Figueirense.
His sister shares memories of the huge decision to leave home as a shy teenager, as the forward travels to his new life 5,000 miles away in Germany.
Supporters and former teammates also remember the talented figure who made his presence felt in the Bundesliga – ultimately leading to his transfer to Liverpool in the summer of 2015.
On the documentary, Firmino said: “It was a huge honour to tell my story in this way. I’m proud that my family and friends, former teammates and all those who have helped me down the years embraced the project with so much passion.
“It was an emotional experience to relive my journey, and I must warn you that there’ll be some tears along the way! There’ll be stories you’ll have no doubt heard, but plenty that you will not know.
“It’s as much about my life away from football as the successes I’ve enjoyed on the pitch. It is not only my parting gift to Liverpool fans, who took me into their hearts, but a precious keepsake for myself and my family – something we will cherish forever.”
To conclude the series, episode three Best In The World will premiere across the same channels on June 24.
