<\/a>Mohamed Salah serves perfect reminder of Liverpool legacy in tearful Anfield farewell<\/p>\n

Now the reign of Liverpool\u2019s Egyptian king is over. But if Mohamed Salah abdicated, he signed off first in style and then in tears. Not with the goal he surely wanted, though he was inches away from a 258th and last for Liverpool, but with a reminder the third highest scorer in their history was more than just a scorer, and then an illustration of how much he and they have meant to each other.<\/p>\n

A moving goodbye was an imperfect one, with neither a win nor a goal for Salah, but it was laced with a touch of class. A cross that served as a reminder he has more than a century of assists for Liverpool showed that, while Salah was sometimes accused of selfishness \u2013 for his words off the field and his shots on it \u2013 he made plenty of goals for others.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Arne Slot on Salah and Robertson: <\/p>\n

\u201cThey completely got what they deserved. Two legends that in the last nine years won nine trophies over here. So, yeah, for them, it must have been a special day, a difficult day probably as well, but definitely also a special day and the fans made it special for them as well. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think I’ve said it many times, this club knows how to celebrate a league title, this club knows to handle tragedies and this club definitely also knows how to celebrate these two players.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Final day emotion at Anfield <\/p>\n

\u201cSo Liverpool qualify for the Champions League, not entirely convincingly, but certainly importantly. And two wonderful Anfield careers come to an end. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a fond farewell to Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Mohamed Salah gets farewell <\/p>\n

Now time for the Egyptian King – who leaves a legend of Liverpool Football Club. <\/p>\n

Every honour in the books. And the third-highest goalscorer in the history of the club. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Robertson gets guard of honour <\/p>\n

The Scotland captain re-enters the field of play to a guard of honour from the players and staff. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s won everything since his move from Hull City in 2017. The left back leaves a legend. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Virgil van Dijk: <\/p>\n

On CL qualification:<\/strong> \u201cOnly positive. We\u2019ll say goodbye to legends of the club, focus is on that, qualification… the bare minimum we should try and get out of this poor season. Onwards and upwards, that\u2019s what they say. <\/p>\n

On Salah and Robertson: <\/strong>\u201cWill definitely miss them.\u201d <\/p>\n

A nice moment as Jordan Henderson embraces Mo Salah on the pitch, with the Egyptian in tears in his final few moments in a Liverpool shirt. <\/p>\n

Andy Robertson also taking a standing ovation! <\/p>\n

<\/a>FULL-TIME: Liverpool 1-1 Brentford<\/p>\n

For Liverpool, it\u2019s Champions League football. For Brentford, they miss out on Europe (as it stands). <\/p>\n

Curtis Jones\u2019s opener was cancelled out by Kevin Schade and Brentford had a few openings at the end – but it wasn\u2019t enough. <\/p>\n

A muted reception at the end. A disappointing season for the hosts, and the end of an era with Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson waving goodbye. <\/p>\n
