Firmino: This is my best year as a footballer
As he prepares for the Champions League final, Roberto Firmino has recognised that this season has been his best as a professional, but he is sure there can be even better to come.
The Brazilian feels he could have scored more this season, despite netting ten times in the Champions League, and feels he is due one more in the final.
"We got good results against Manchester City and Roma. I thought we played great and I hope we can keep that up," he said in an interview with 'UEFA'.
"Am I happy with having scored 10 goals since the start of the group stage? Very, very. Although I am a little bit annoyed, because I always want more and I am never satisfied. However, you cannot beat yourself up about these things all the time and you must always keep moving forward.
"It is my first season in the Champions League and I am one of the leading scorers, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah. This is my best year as a professional footballer.
"We know about Real Madrid. They are always winning titles in the Champions League and in the Spanish league too. I've never played against them, but I've watched their games and they're very competitive.
"However, this is a final; a one-off game, a one-off moment. They'll also be up against Liverpool – a team and a club with a great pedigree. We are going to fight until the end."
