Roberto Firmino was in the form of his life before the World Cup as he scored 11 goals in 15 Champions League games and 15 goals in 37 Premier League games. He also contributed with 7 assists in PL.

Although Firmino didn't get enough game time, he still proved his worth with a beautiful goal against Mexico in the last 16 to carry Brazil into the quarter final.
