SportFootballArne SlotArne Slot pays tribute to Liverpool's fans for their send-off for Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson at AnfieldArne Slot paid tribute to Liverpool's supporters for giving Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson a fitting send-off after nine years apiece at Anfield.The Reds' final game of a difficult campaign saw them draw 1-1 with Brentford to book their place in next season's Champions League on a day when Robertson and Salah played their last matches as Reds players.In total, the pair made 820 appearances for Liverpool between them and were driving forces behind teams that won every major honour between the years of 2017 and 2025, including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.Slot was full of praise for how the fans handled the end-of-season departures of the legendary duo, saying: “It was brilliant, as always you can expect from our fans.READ MORE: Andy Robertson pays classy tribute to Everton captain Seamus Coleman after Liverpool goodbyeREAD MORE: Mohamed Salah chokes up in tears after Liverpool guard of honour in emotional farewell"They completely got what they deserved, two legends that in the last nine years won nine trophies over here. For them it must have been a special day, a difficult day probably as well, and the fans made it special for them.“I’ve said many times this club knows how to celebrate a league title, this club knows how to handle tragedies, and it definitely knows how to celebrate these two players."Liverpool made it 1-0 when Curtis Jones finished off Salah's cross in the second half before the Bees responded through Kevin Schade's header and the draw means the Reds were without a win in the final month of the campaign, ending their term on 60 points, which is 24 fewer than last time out.Slot added: “Again we didn’t get what we deserved and that’s a common theme this season."We deserved to win, although in the 100th minute we could have even lost it and so many times this season we have seen that before."We had chances to make the winner and then in the 10th minute of injury time they got a serious chance with the header and this time it didn’t go in.



So many times this season it did go in.“I think it was another game that looked similar to all the other games we have played. It took them 40 minutes before they got into our box, we completely dominated the first half but then off a throw-in they get their first big chance and set-pieces is not our theme this season."FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
