The photo, taken by Not Little for Long, showed Firmino lying on the floor of a room in their home with his wife and daughters – Bella and Valentina – lying on top of him. The caption alongside the photo read: ‘Strong daddy. Good luck today. We LoveYou.’
The couple married in a lavish ceremony in Maceio – capital city of the northern state of Alagoa – in June 2017.
Firmino, who has six goals in 22 appearances this season, played 81 minutes in Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday.
Attention now turns to continental competition though where a dramatic night is in store for Liverpool fans as Klopp’s team look to progress.

A dramatic night is in store for Liverpool fans as Klopp’s team look to progress in Europe
Liverpool must beat Napoli to have any chance of reaching the knockout stages. They will qualify if they win 1-0 or by two or more goals.
A victory by any other scoreline would see Liverpool having to rely on Paris Saint-Germain failing to win at Red Star Belgrade.
If Liverpool win by any scoreline and PSG draw, those teams and Napoli will all have nine points.
In that scenario, Liverpool’s superior head-to-head record against Napoli and PSG would see them finish top.
LARISSA PEREIRA is the stunning wife of Liverpool star Roberto Firmino.
The couple have been inseparable since meeting in 2014 and they finally tied the knot in Brazil in 2017.

When did the couple get together?
The Brazilian star met the stunner in 2014.
They tied the knot last year at a lavish ceremony in Maceio, Brazil.
Philippe Coutinho, who played with Firmino at Liverpool until the start of the year, was the best man at the ceremony.

Do they have any children together?
Firmino revealed that as a youngster he was banned from leaving his home at times because the area was so dangerous.
But the Liverpool ace, who reportedly rakes in £180,000-a-week, is able to bring his children up in safer surroundings.
The couple have two daughters together called Valentina and Bella.
