Liverpool icons Salah and Robertson end nine-year spells with emotional farewell

Mohamed Salah and Scotland defender Andy Robertson played their final match for Liverpool on 25 May 2026, a 1‑1 draw against Brentford at Anfield that secured Champions League qualification for the club. Both players were substituted and received standing ovations from the crowd before leaving the pitch.

In post‑match interviews, Salah said the team had "put the club back where it belongs" and reflected on his nine‑year, 257‑goal career, while Robertson praised Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Everton captain Séamus Coleman. Their departures mark the end of a highly successful period for Liverpool, which finished fifth in the Premier League and will compete in next season’s Champions League.
