Salah ends Liverpool career with tears and satisfaction that the club is back ‘where it belongs’

Mohamed Salah said he cried “more than I did my whole life” in his final appearance for Liverpool after a nine-year spell at the club in which he broke a bunch of scoring records.
Salah was given a standing ovation and kissed the turf after being substituted in the 74th minute of the 1-1 draw with Brentford at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.
After the match, the Egypt winger received a guard of honor from his Liverpool teammates and staff that he walked through in tears.
“I cried a lot, more than I did my whole life, but it’s very tough to leave a place like this,” Salah said. “I also 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, I’m like a baby.”
Salah will leave Liverpool having played 442 matches, scored 257 goals and made 120 assists.

His assist for Curtis Jones against Brentford was his 93rd in the Premier League, breaking a Liverpool record he shared with club great Steven Gerrard.
Salah was the superstar name in Liverpool’s greatest team in a generation, winning two Premier Leagues — one under Jurgen Klopp and another under current manager Arne Slot — and the Champions League once in a total of eight titles since joining from Roma in 2017.
Salah is third in Liverpool’s all-time scorers’ list, behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt, and has won the Golden Boot — as the Premier League’s top scorer — four times. His 193 Premier League goals is the most by a Liverpool player and more than any other overseas player.
“We lived our youth here, sharing everything from the beginning until the end,” Salah said in a post-match interview alongside Andy Robertson, who also is leaving after this season.
