After nine legendary years, the “Egyptian King” is moving on, leaving behind a legacy that cements his status among the greatest icons to ever grace the pitch at Anfield.

Before kickoff, the Kop displayed a massive tifo honoring both Salah and the departing Andy Robertson. Even at 33, Salah remained the protagonist; he nearly scored a farewell goal if not for the post, before turning architect to set up Curtis Jones for Liverpool’s only goal of the match.

Breaking Gerrard’s Record and Securing Champions League

With that final assist, Salah officially surpassed Steven Gerrard’s record (92) to become Liverpool’s all-time leading assist provider in the Premier League.

In the 74th minute, manager Arne Slot substituted Salah to allow for a standing ovation. In a deeply moving moment, Salah performed his trademark prostration (Sajdah) on the Anfield turf for the last time, amidst thunderous applause.

This final contribution proved vital, as the point secured Liverpool’s place in next season’s UEFA Champions League, finishing 5th with 60 points.

Salah’s staggering numbers from 2017 to 2026 stand at 257 goals and 123 assists in 442 appearances, alongside 9 major trophies—including two Premier League titles and a Champions League crown.
