Liverpool to honour Salah and Robertson in emotional farewell
Liverpool have confirmed plans to honour Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson ahead of what promises to be an emotional farewell at Anfield on Sunday, reports BritPanorama.
The Reds will pay tribute to two of the greatest players of the modern era before their glittering careers with the club come to an end at the close of the season. Supporters attending Liverpool’s final home match of the campaign against Brentford will be treated to special mosaics celebrating Salah and Robertson, two men who have helped transform the club into one of the dominant forces in English and European football.
Between them, the pair have lifted the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup, etching their names into Anfield folklore. Liverpool confirmed the plans in a statement on the club’s official website, revealing that fans will have the chance to say a fitting goodbye to two of the most beloved figures in their history.
“Mosaics will be displayed at Anfield on Sunday in celebration of the departing Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah,” the statement read. “Both legends and cornerstones of the Reds’ many successes over the past nine years, Robertson and Salah will leave the club at the end of this season.”
Sunday’s Premier League home match against Brentford marks their final game as Liverpool players, with a special send-off planned for the duo. The club added that the Kop will lead the tribute to Salah, while the lower Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand will honour Robertson before kick-off. The announcement follows Salah’s recent social media statements, which drew commentary after Liverpool’s 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa on Friday.
In his post-match remarks, Salah appeared to call for a return to the high-octane “heavy metal” football associated with former manager Jurgen Klopp, provoking a scathing response from Wayne Rooney. The former Manchester United captain suggested that head coach Arne Slot should leave Salah out of the squad entirely for the upcoming match against Brentford. “I find it sad at the end of what he’s done and what he’s achieved at Liverpool,” Rooney said on The Wayne Rooney Show.
Rooney also articulated concerns about whether Salah still possesses the physical capability to thrive in Klopp’s demanding system, stating, “If I was Arne Slot, I’d have him nowhere near the stadium in the last game.” Such reflections underline the complexity surrounding Salah’s imminent departure, as the legendary forward’s legacy at Liverpool is weighed against an uncertain future.
The anticipated farewell underscores the profound connection between player and club, an intertwining narrative of highs, lows, and the relentless march of time in football. As Anfield prepares to pay tribute to these two pivotal figures, it serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of sporting excellence and the lasting impact of legacy.
