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.”
The opening episode dives into the early life of Firmino, visiting his birthplace on the north-eastern coast of Brazil, where his parents, Mariana and Jose, look back on his childhood and first steps into the beautiful game.
