LONDON: Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino said he is enjoying the best season of his career at Anfield but remains “restless” ahead of their Champions League final against Real Madrid in Kiev next week.
The 26-year-old Brazil international has netted 27 goals for Liverpool in all competitions so far this campaign and was recently rewarded with a new long-term contract.
“This year is my best year as a professional footballer… (but) I am still a little bit ‘restless’, as I always want more, to grow and grow even further,” Firmino told UEFA.
“(It would be) a unique moment (to win the final). It’s a very special trophy, because it’s the Champions League.
“If we’re fortunate enough to be able to win it, it will be a very emotional moment for me and the whole team.”
Firmino has established himself as one of Europe’s elite strikers, with his tally of 10 Champions League goals only bettered by Real Madrid talisman Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Although I am a little bit annoyed, because (in general) I always want more and I am never satisfied,” Firmino added.
“However, you cannot beat yourselves 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 and (Mohamed) Salah. I am pretty pleased and very happy with my performance and the entire team’s performance.”
Liverpool will look to end their six-year trophy drought when they face 12-time European champions and current holders Real Madrid on May 26.

LONDON: England manager Gareth Southgate named a youthful 23-man World Cup squad on Wednesday with several notable absentees.
Experienced goalkeeper Joe Hart was left out of the squad for Russia, as was Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere who between them have been capped more than 100 times.
Everton’s Jordan Pickford, one of three keepers selected, is expected to start in goal in England‘s opening match against Tunisia on June 18.
Liverpool’s uncapped 19-year-old right back Trent Alexander-Arnold is the youngest member of the squad after being given a surprise call-up, while Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, on loan at Crystal Palace, is also included.
Southgate opted to name his final 23-man squad rather than a larger provisional one, as is usually the case, although he has put five players on a standby list.
England play friendlies against Nigeria and Costa Rica on June 2 and June 7 before leaving for Russia five days later.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Jack Butland (Stoke City), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley).
Defenders: John Stones (Manchester City), Harry Maguire (Leicester City), Phil Jones (Manchester Utd), Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Tottenham Hotspur), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Young (Manchester Utd), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool).
Midfielders: Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur), Jesse Lingard (Manchester Utd), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea), Fabian Delph (Manchester City).
Forwards: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Marcus Rashford (Manchester Utd), Danny Welbeck (Arsenal).

Marseille had been worried about the fitness of Dimitri Payet. But their captain (and erstwhile West Ham schemer) shrugs off a thigh complaint to make the starting XI. Bouna Sarr also makes the team, despite recently dislocating his shoulder.
Atletico had been hoping to recall Vitolo. But the winger’s hamstring problem sees him miss out on the big match. Diego Costa, once of Chelsea, leads their attack … though what price another former Blue, Fernando Torres, coming on to score the winner?
