Mohamed Salah admits he 'cried more than in my entire life' as Liverpool star says goodbye to club

Mohamed Salah admitted he "cried more than in my entire life" as the Liverpool star said goodbye to the club.

The Egyptian started his final game for the club against Brentford, as the Reds drew 1-1 with the Bees.

Salah provided the assist for Curtis Jones' opener and was so close to getting his 193 Premier League goals after his free-kick hit the post.

He was given an impromptu guard of honour by his team-mates when he was substituted in the 74th minute, kissing the turf one final time.

"I think I've cried more than in my whole life. I'm not really an emotional guy," the Egyptian told Sky Sports.

Salah will be departing the club alongside Andy Robertson, who have been two fabulous players for the Reds.

The winger said: "We lived our youth here, sharing everything from the beginning to the end.

"We put this club back where it belongs."

Salah continued: "It's tricky to leave Liverpool. It's life. I look back and wonder if I would have wanted more than I achieved. Not really. We won it all.

"We see the love from the fans and this is the most important thing for me.

"I will be far away from here. I will be emotional every time.

"I hope the team stays in the position, fighting for everything."

Salah became the club's leading Premier League assist record holder with his 93rd assist to Jones.

Manager Arne Slot speaking after the game said: "Again we didn't get what we deserved and that is a common theme this season, we deserved to win.

"Although in the 100th minute we could have lost it as they get a serious chance and it didn't go in.

"We came here today to do the minimum required and when you look at the league table, big clubs are not able to qualify for the Champions League or Europe so we can not take it for granted - but it is clear and obvious we wanted more. But I am proud of the players because it has been a very difficult season."

Brentford came ever so close to qualifying for Europe, having enjoyed a brilliant campaign with Keith Andrews.

Kevin Schade got on the scoresheet for the Bees, and Dango Ouattara nearly won it at the death, just heading over the top.

"We gave everything to get the result we needed, it wasn't quite to be," said Andrews.

"There's immense pride in terms of what we produced, like how much bravery we played with in the second half."
