Liverpool may not have lifted any trophies during Mohamed Salah's farewell at Anfield, but he still received a special memento before urging his teammates to give "everything" to the club going forward.
The Egyptian icon, who played his last game in a red jersey on Sunday, took his final bow for Liverpool after a 1–1 draw with Brentford to wrap up a difficult 2025–26 season. Salah set up his side's only goal with a stunning trivela assist, giving the fans chanting his name one last magical moment to cherish.
The club also ensured it expressed its gratitude to the legendary winger after the final whistle. Salah walked through a guard of honor before meeting CEO Billy Hogan, sporting director Richard Hughes and Liverpool legends Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush at the center of the pitch, where he was presented with a heartfelt gift.

Dubbed "The Champions Wall," a commemorative plaque displayed the list of trophies in Liverpool's collection, many of which Salah played a key role in winning. During his nine seasons on Merseyside, he claimed nine honors, including two Premier League titles and a Champions League crown.
It was only appropriate that an emotional rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" echoed around the stadium, moving Salah to tears. Andy Robertson, who also bid farewell to his Liverpool career, was given the same heartfelt send-off.

Salah couldn't resist joking about just how emotional he became on Sunday, as he said his goodbyes to the club where he racked up 257 goals and 123 assists.
"I cried a lot," he said. "I think more than I did in my whole life! But it's very tough to leave a place like this. Also I cried a bit in the training ground. I'm not really an emotional guy, you guys don't see that in the media that much. You always see me tough, aggressive but inside me I take it like a baby.
"It's very tricky. We left our youth here, sharing everything from the beginning until the end. We wouldn't even dream of what we had but we did it for this club. We put it back where it belonged."
Salah also delivered a passionate message to his Liverpool teammates following such a disappointing season in which the club finished fifth in the Premier League and ended the campaign without a trophy.
"This is our message to the players in the dressing room. Look, the club now is fighting for everything. The fans will not accept less than that," he said.
"They don't care that much about the result as long as you sweat and you give your blood here. They will love you forever. So this is my message to you guys: it's not about talent, it's about everything. This is why [Robertson] is loved more than anyone probably, because he just gave it all on the field and fans love him for that. It's tricky to leave Liverpool, but this is life and we have to move on."
Slot Gives Final Verdict on Salah, Robertson
In the build-up to Sunday's match, there were plenty of headlines—not for the first time this season—surrounding Arne Slot and Salah, who have had several public disagreements throughout 2025–26. Slot declined to confirm what role the 33-year-old would play against Brentford, but ultimately handed Salah a starting spot in his farewell appearance.
The pair shared a brief, subdued hug when Salah departed the pitch for the last time in the 74th minute, and Slot maintained a similar tone in his final words about the forward—and Robertson—during his postgame press conference.
"Brilliant, as always, as what you can expect from our fans," Slot said when asked about the reception from the home supporters for Salah and Robertson. "So, they 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. I 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."
