Liverpool, nicknamed the "Reds," drew 1-1 with Brentford in the final round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, thanks to a goal from Jones. Salah, making his last appearance for Liverpool, said he and his teammates had spent their youth there, and that leaving Liverpool was extremely difficult.
In the 58th minute of the second half, Salah broke into the penalty area and crossed the ball, which Jones tapped into the net, giving Liverpool a 1-0 lead. It is worth mentioning that this was also Salah's 93rd Premier League assist, surpassing legendary Gerrard to tie for first place in the club's history.
In the 64th minute, Lewis Porter's cross was cleared, and then Kevin Shad headed the ball into the net, helping Brentford equalize at 1-1.
Liverpool ultimately drew 1-1 with Brentford at home, finishing fifth and securing a Champions League spot as they bid farewell to this tumultuous season.
Egyptian star Mohamed Salah said, "I cried many times, I think more than I have in my entire life. Leaving a place like this is really too difficult. I actually cried a little at the training ground. I am not a particularly emotional person, and people rarely see this side of me in the media. People always see my toughness and aggression, but actually I am like a child inside."
“We’ve dedicated our youth to this club, from the beginning to the end, we’ve been through it all together. We never even dared to dream that we could achieve what we have today, but we have truly done it for this club, we have brought Liverpool back to where it belongs.”
Salah emphasized, "This is also what we want to say to the players in the dressing room. Look at us now, this club fights for every honor, and the fans will not accept performances below this standard. As long as you are willing to sweat and give everything here, the fans will not care too much about the result; they will always love you."
"So this is what I want to tell everyone: football is not just about talent, it's about giving everything. That's why Robertson is probably more loved by the fans than anyone else, because he always gives his all on the pitch, and that's why the fans love him so much. Leaving Liverpool was very difficult, but that's life, and we have to keep moving forward."
Speaking about Robertson, who also left Liverpool after many years, Salah said, "Robertson was very important to the team. He was an extremely crucial part of our time together. I was really honored to share a dressing room with him. He was a fantastic person and an outstanding player."
"Whether I need help or the team needs help, he's always there. It's really hard to describe in a single sentence, but I feel very lucky to have worked with Robertson for so many years."
