Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, who arrived within weeks of each other in the summer of 2017, will play their final Liverpool minutes against Brentford on Sunday. Over nine seasons the Egyptian forward and the Scottish left‑back amassed every major trophy available, cementing themselves on the club’s modern Mount Rushmore, and their influence extended beyond the pitch, shaping Liverpool’s global brand.

Klopp’s data team convinced him to bypass a failed Julian Brandt target and sign Salah from AS Roma for £34.3m, despite a modest Chelsea spell. Robertson arrived from relegated Hull City for £8m, having once stocked shelves at M&S. Salah’s debut season produced a record 32 league goals and 283 total goal involvements, while the Scot contributed 60 assists, just four shy of Trent Alexander‑Arnold’s Premier League defender record.

Together they featured in 818 games and lifted nine major trophies, including the record‑equalling 20th league title in 2022‑23 where Salah notched 29 goals and 18 assists. Their departure closes an era that redefined the full‑back role and the club’s attacking identity, leaving Anfield without two of its most celebrated icons. Fans will remember their relentless work ethic and clutch performances in European nights.
