Liverpool's brilliant Brazilian False 9 — the unsung hero of Klopp's Champions League and Premier League-winning sides whose pressing and link-play were exceptional.

Roberto Firmino was the least celebrated member of Liverpool's devastating front three with Salah and Mané — but arguably the most important. His selfless pressing, intelligent movement and technical quality created enormous amounts of space for his teammates. He scored 111 goals in 362 games for Liverpool and became a cult hero at Anfield.

His famous "no-look" goals — scored by passing the ball into the net without looking — became one of football's most celebrated individual techniques.
