LIVERPOOL — An emotional Mohamed Salah said “we put the club back where it belongs” after playing his final game for Liverpool yesterday.
A 1-1 draw at home to Brentford on the last day of the Premier League season marked the end of the Egyptian forward’s nine-year spell at Anfield.
Salah, 33, bid farewell alongside Scotland defender Andy Robertson, who also joined Liverpool in 2017.
Salah scored 257 goals for Liverpool, behind only Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285) in the club’s list of leading goalscorers.
He has also won multiple trophies at the club including the Champions League and two Premier League titles.
“I think I cried more than in my whole life,” Salah told Sky Sports after the Brentford match. “I’m not really an emotional guy.
“We lived our youth here, sharing everything from the beginning to the end,” said Salah of the time he shared with Robertson at Anfield. “We put this club back where it belongs.”
Robertson too made no attempt to hide his feelings, saying he felt “emotionally drained” after playing his final game for Liverpool.
