Mohamed Salah couldn't help but joke after the proceedings about just how emotional he got on Sunday, as he said goodbye to the club where he tallied 257 goals and 123 assists.
"I cried a lot. 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 at the training ground. I'm not really an emotional guy, you guys don't see that in the media that much."
He added: "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."
Slot Gives Final Verdict on Salah
Ahead of Sunday's match, there were plenty of headlines—not for the first time this season—surrounding Arne Slot and Salah, who have clashed on numerous occasions in 2025–26.
Slot refused to confirm what type of role the 33-year-old would play against Brentford, but he ultimately gave Salah the nod in his final match. The two shared an impersonal hug when Salah left the pitch for the final time in the 74th minute.
"Brilliant, as always, as what you can expect from our fans. So, they completely got what they deserved. Two legends that in the last nine years won nine trophies over here."
The Dutch manager continued: "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'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."
