Roberto Firmino appears to have a parking fine heading his way after the Liverpool striker abandoned his £250,000 yellow Lamborghini in a disabled bay as he went out for dinner, just days to the Reds must-win Premier League clash with eternal rival Manchester United.
The striker was enjoying a meal at a new £1million restaurant formed by a partnership between the iconic Cavern Club and the Bem Brasil restaurant chain on Wednesday night. Unwilling to find a legitimate parking space, Firmino opted to just leave his car in a disabled spot as he enjoyed his evening off.
In the UK it is an offence for anyone to park in a disabled space without displaying a valid Blue Badge and the offence carries a maximum fine of £1,000. Firmino, who earns £180,000 a week at Anfield, looked to be unfazed by his choice of parking spot though as he walked into the restaurant while on the phone.
His car, the Lamborghini Urus, boasts a hair-raising top speed of 189.5 mph and can do 0-60 mph in just 2.93 seconds. Firmino looked extremely casual as he opted to wear joggers, a hoodie and a leather jacket on top and was joined at the restaurant by wife Larissa Pereira.
Fellow Brazilian and Anfield stopper Alisson was also in attendance as Jurgen Klopp’s players enjoyed a night off after their hard-earned 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Alisson’s wife Natalia Loewe was also in attendance as she walked into the restaurant just in front of her husband.
Completing the group was Alberto Moreno, who played no part in the draw at Anfield against the Bundesliga giants. The Spanish full-back is expected to leave the club in search of regular football in the summer and seemed keen to make the most of his final few months in the city by attending with girlfriend Lilia Granadilla and their children.
The group were trying out a new menu put together by Bem Brazil and the Cavern Club at a venue on Mathew Street.
Bem Brasil serves ‘authentic’ Brazilian cuisine, with the menu featuring treats such as ‘prime Brazilian sausages’ and chicken hearts.
It has a very popular branch in Manchester, as well as Liverpool, and the restaurants are a prime spot for footballers to enjoy some South American food
