Fans react to Firmino mural being on Everton fan’s house

Firmino paid a visit to the mural and was met with echoes of his ‘Si Senor’ chant and has even been pictured signing the wall to mark the end of his time at Liverpool.

It was Karen – a Liverpool supporter – who first noticed the Everton sticker on the window and shared it on Twitter, to which fans found hilarious.

Karen posted the image with the caption: “This is killing me,” before continuing: “They must be livid that’s on the wall.”

The sticker contains Everton’s famous motto ‘Nil Satis Nisi Optimum’, which translates to “nothing but the best is good enough”.

The Everton badge is also presented loud and proud.

One Liverpool fan joked: “Probably the first reference to Everton on the Champions League account in ages.”

“Evertonians can’t catch a break even in their own house.” a second added.

Firmino mural fan reaction

On his way to Saturday’s home game against Villa, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp spotted the Firmino-inspired mural.

Speaking at his press conference, the German said: "What the people did anyway, like the mural for Bobby Firmino.

"Yesterday we drove to the stadium because we leave our cars here and then you pass that and it’s not finished yet, it was in the middle of something, and you think, ‘Wow’.

“How often these people do the right things in the right moment is absolutely insane. It was a big, big gesture and Bobby was really [touched]. It’s a big gesture, I have to say, really big.”

What next for Liverpool and Everton?

Both Merseyside-based sides have potentially crucial final run-ins - but for very different reasons.

Everton host Bournemouth as they look to preserve their Premier League status in the final stages of the campaign for the second successive year.

Their city neighbours are, however, looking to complete their late push for Champions League qualification despite struggling for much of the season.

Manchester United sit three points ahead of them with one game in hand, but Liverpool can still dislodge the Red Devils from the top four if results go in their favour.
