Roberto Firmino has shared his heartache of being omitted from the Brazil World Cup squad on his Instagram, saying 'it was not what he dreamed for or imagined'.
The Liverpool striker, who has 55 caps for Brazil, was a notable absentee to Tite's 26-man World Cup travelling party, with younger stars Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Antony and Raphinha all getting the call up over the experienced forward.
The 31-year-old was understandably heartbroken at the snub and took to Instagram to share his upset at not making the squad, but his thanks to fans that have supported him.
