Robertson said he was delighted to see Liverpool qualify for the Champions League.

Following the conclusion of the 2025/26 Premier League season, legends Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah will no longer be wearing the "Reds" jersey in the new season. Scotland captain Robertson stated that he and Salah are delighted to see Liverpool remain a major force in the Champions League after overcoming various challenges, and they hope Liverpool will continue to advance.

In the final round of the Premier League, Liverpool took the lead thanks to a goal assisted by Salah and Jones, but then conceded a goal and failed to break through the opponent's defense, ultimately being held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford at Anfield, finishing in 5th place and securing a Champions League spot.

After his final match for Liverpool, Robertson said in an interview, "These fans come here every week to support us. Anfield has always been packed since I joined nine years ago, and our away tickets are always sold out. We have to thank them; they are the heart of this club. And if we can give them a small reward by winning, competing for titles, and investing our time, that's something they deserve."

"Champions League qualification was a must-achieve goal, and from our original expectations, this has undoubtedly been a very disappointing season. In fact, since before Christmas, everyone knew that this would not be the season we dreamed of, at least in terms of winning the title. Therefore, securing Champions League qualification became extremely important."

Robertson pointed out, "We pulled through the final stages of the season, but I'm glad that when Salah and I leave, the club will still be on the biggest stage and will still be able to play the most important games next season, and I sincerely hope they can continue to move forward in the future."

"When we first came here, winning the Champions League or the Premier League was a dream, not an expectation. But now it has become an expectation, and that's because of the standards we players have set for the club's success. Now people think Liverpool should be at the top of the table, should be competing for Champions League qualification and the title, and that's all thanks to all my teammates."

Speaking about Brentford midfielder Henderson and goalkeeper Kelleher, who played for Liverpool for many years, Robertson said, "The applause Henderson received was probably the most emotional moment for me. He was an incredible contributor to the club, and he finally received the respect he deserved, especially since he left in the summer and didn't have this opportunity to say goodbye."

"The moment Kelleher ran towards the stands at halftime was particularly touching. It was also very special to be able to do all of this in a game against Brentford because both of them were here."

In addition, Robertson said, "I'm completely emotionally drained. It's been an extremely tough week. It's been very busy, and I have to work hard to control my emotions while also focusing on the game and making sure I've said goodbye to everyone I need to say goodbye to. It's been such a long week, and I need to completely relax."
