Liverpool's Firmino gets baptized, Alisson moved to tears
Liverpool's Fimino baptised
It was an emotional moment for Liverpool stars Roberto Firmino and Alisson Becker after the striker was baptized yesterday in his swimming pool.
The striker posted a video of the baptism on his Instagram page. Family and friends were in large attendance, including Fabinho.
Firmino was seen hugging his sobbing spouse, Larissa, after being baptized.
Becker could not hold back his tears and the emotional moment was captured.
According to DailyMail, the ceremony was led by Brazilian gospel singer Isaias Saad and a group of backing singers.
The majority of people in attendance were wearing t-shirts with a cross-equals-love logo on it, commonly associated with the global Hillsong Church.
Firmino's baptism appears to be part of a move into the Hillsong Church evangelical group, which Alisson is part of.
Firmino, 28, married his wife Larissa at a Catholic church in Brazil in June 2017 but he has now been welcomed into the evangelical group as part of this week's ceremony.
Goalkeeper Alisson regularly posts about the Hillsong Church on his online profiles.
