Tears flowed heavily as Mohamed Salah emotionally opened up before leaving Liverpool, mentioning one person in particular.
On 25 May 2026, Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's striker, spoke to Sky Sports after the final English Premier League match of the 2025-26 season, which was his farewell game as a "Red" player, along with Andrew Robertson, whose contract was also expiring.
In this match, Mohamed Salah provided one assist for Curtis Jones to score the opening goal in a 1-1 draw against Brentford, securing an important point that helped Liverpool finish 5th in the Premier League standings and qualify for the UEFA Champions League, achieving their goal before Salah's departure after nine years with the club, during which they won eight trophies as follows.
Two Premier League titles.
One UEFA Champions League title.
One FIFA Club World Cup title.
Two Carabao Cups (League Cups).
One FA Cup.
One UEFA Super Cup.
Mohamed Salah tearfully addressed Liverpool fans before waving goodbye at Anfield, saying, "I think I've cried more than I ever have in my life."
"I'm not a very sensitive person. We spent our youth here sharing everything from beginning to end. We brought this club back to where it should be. He is loved (Andrew Robertson) because he gives his all on the pitch. They love him for that."
"Leaving Liverpool is very difficult. He is very important to the team, and during the time we were together, I felt honored to share a dressing room with him. He is dedicated to the team. I am very lucky to have shared a dressing room with him."
"This is life. Looking back, I wonder if I wanted more than what I got. Not at all. We won everything. We saw the love from the fans, and that means the most to me."
"Though I will be far from here, I will feel emotional every time. I hope the team maintains this position and fights for everything."
