Salah and Robertson Bid Anfield Farewell as Liverpool Draw Seals Champions League Return

— Match Report

Liverpool secured the point they needed to confirm fifth place and a return to the Champions League, but the abiding memory of a 1-1 draw with Brentford was the emotional farewell to Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson on a poignant afternoon at Anfield.

Curtis Jones gave the hosts a 58th-minute lead courtesy of Salah's 120th Liverpool assist, but Kevin Schade levelled within minutes and Brentford came within Dango Ouattara's miscued header of snatching a victory that would have taken them into Europe for the first time in their history.

A Day Built Around Two Legends

All eyes were on Salah and Robertson, who were making their 442nd and 275th appearances respectively after nine years of service. Mosaics decorated the Kop and Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand, the match programme was dedicated to the pair, and fans arrived in shirts bearing their names, with some wearing plastic crowns and pharaoh costumes in tribute to the 'Egyptian king'.
