When the couple left Liverpool with their children, Larissa took to Instagram to share a special message, she said: "We've reached the end. We are leaving here with hearts full of love.

"Liverpool taught me that love is worth it Thank you fans, thank you LFC, thank you to each person who was part of this story. We will never forget you."
