Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, speaking to Sky Sports on Sunday: "That's the only positive. Now we'll say goodbye to the legends of the club and the focus is on that right now.

"I mentioned it many times, this has been the most challenging year in my career. It's tough to take, tough to go through that as a team but we are Liverpool and we come out of it stronger. That's the main focus now.

"The bare minimum that we should try and get out of this poor season. Onwards and upwards so we keep going.

On Salah and Robertson: "I'm definitely going to miss them. We, as a club, are going to miss them, their qualities and that's life.

"Now it's a wrap on a disappointing season. It's been a tough year."

What is your favourite Mohamed Salah moment in a Liverpool shirt?

From scoring his first goal at Watford in August 2017 to netting in the 2019 Champions League final in Madrid, there are so many to choose from.

Personally, a few stand out: his thunderbolt against Chelsea in April 2019, his sensational solo goal at Anfield against Manchester City in 2021, and becoming the first opposition player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford in 18 years.

There really are so many to choose from.

Mohamed Salah was never going to leave the Anfield turf for the final time without breaking one last record.

The Egyptian has broken a litany of records since joining the Reds from Roma in 2017 and, on his final appearance at the ground where he produced so many moments of magic, he etched his name into the club’s history one final time.

By assisting Curtis Jones in the second half against Brentford, Salah overtook Steven Gerrard to become Liverpool’s all-time leading assister in Premier League history (93).

Here are just some of the other Premier League records Salah has broken during his time at Anfield:

• Liverpool’s all-time leading Premier League scorer (191)
• Highest-scoring African in Premier League history
• Highest-scoring non-English player in Premier League history
• Joint-most Golden Boots (four - 2017/18, 2018/19, 2021/22, 2024/25)
• Most goal involvements for a single club in Premier League history (284)
• Most goal involvements in a 38-game season (47 - 2024/25)
• Most goal contributions at a single stadium (155 at Anfield)
• The only player to win the Premier League Player of the Season, Golden Boot and Golden Playmaker awards - and to win all three in the same season (2024/25)

Farewell, the Egyptian King.

This marked the end of the Liverpool story for Salah and Robertson, two special players who conquered in England and Europe while wearing the famous red shirt.

On a poignant afternoon on Merseyside, fans sang their names throughout and displayed mosaics honouring both, while the match programme was dedicated to their achievements.

Hours before kick-off, fans wearing shirts with the names of Salah and Robertson on the back arrived at the ground, some wearing plastic crowns in homage to 'Egyptian king' Salah.

Others came as ancient Egyptian pharaohs, while a banner on The Kop read 'Salah Is Our King'.

When Liverpool's number 11 stepped up to bend a free-kick around the Brentford wall, fans climbed out of their seats thinking it was going in.

Instead it clattered against the post and Salah reacted by doing a hop, skip and a jump in frustration.

Salah did provide a key moment in the game, however, with his pass setting up Jones to score.

As has happened so many times this season, Liverpool were unable to hold on to the lead, and then came the moment when Salah left the pitch for the final time in a Liverpool shirt.

After being hugged by many of his team-mates, he got down on all fours before kissing the Anfield turf and then he was gone.

Robertson, too, was given a standing ovation and surrounded by team-mates when he was replaced by Milos Kerkez.

After full-time, both players returned to the pitch and were given a guard of honour, while they were hugged by former Liverpool player and manager Sir Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush, the club's all-time leading scorer.

Emotions were high at Anfield too as Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson played their final games for Liverpool.

The duo - both signed in the summer of 2017 - have been legendary servants to the Reds over the past nine years.

Robertson, signed from Hull City for £8.5m following their relegation from the Premier League, is widely regarded as one of, if not the greatest, full-backs in the club’s illustrious history.

The Scotsman also became a fan favourite at Anfield due to his unwavering dedication and effort every time he pulled on the shirt.

Salah, meanwhile, also leaves Anfield as a bona fide legend. Not only is the Egyptian one of the best forwards Liverpool have ever had, he is arguably one of the greatest players ever to wear the shirt.

Since arriving from Italian side Roma nine years ago, Salah has scored 257 goals and provided 123 assists in 442 appearances for the Reds.

Both players helped Liverpool win the Premier League twice, as well as the Champions League, during a glittering period in the club’s history.

Defender John Stones after his final appearance for Manchester City on Sunday: "I can't express my gratitude enough. To feel the love you have all given me over these 10 years, it's been a dream come true. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. It's been an honour to wear this shirt, to play for this club, it's been an absolute privilege.

"This will always be my home. I look forward to watching the games with out all in the stands. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much for all the memories. I hope we made everyone's dreams come true."

Sadly for Manchester City supporters, it wasn’t just Pep Guardiola whose time at the club came to an end on Sunday afternoon.

Both John Stones and Bernardo Silva also played their final games for the club, with the duo set to leave the Etihad later this summer when their contracts expire.

Both players were integral signings for Guardiola at the start of his reign at City, especially Stones.

The England international was signed from Everton for a then eye-watering £47.5m in 2016. He initially struggled for consistency, but soon found his feet and went on to become one of the most successful defenders in the club’s history, winning six Premier League titles, the Champions League and more.

Silva, meanwhile, made a seamless adaptation to life in English football after impressing Guardiola while playing in a Champions League tie for Monaco against City in the 2016/17 season, and has arguably been one of the best signings of his time at the club.

Silva has been such a reliable and consistent performer that he featured in 304 of a possible 342 Premier League matches during his nine seasons at City.

Both players started the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday and received guard of honours from both teams when they were substituted late in the second half.

I think Jamie and Pierre make a fair point. Pep Guardiola’s tenure at Manchester City will be viewed very differently if the club are found guilty of the charges brought against them by the Premier League.

City, of course, deny any wrongdoing.

City players and supporters have experienced success like never before during Guardiola's tenure and there were few dry eyes around Etihad Stadium as the Spaniard called time on his reign.

Guardiola has claimed numerous records in his 10 years, such as the first 100-point haul by an English top-flight side and being the first team to win the title four times in a row.

Sunday afternoon provided one final opportunity to set another milestone as Guardiola went top of the list for most games in charge of City, surpassing Les McDowall's record between 1950 and 1963.

Although the team have won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup this season, their title challenge ended with Tuesday's draw at Bournemouth and their 15-game unbeaten run was brought to a halt by Villa.

Silva and Stones will also leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts following distinguished service and both players were given guards of honour when they were substituted in the second half.

Striker Erling Haaland was left out of the matchday squad, given a rest before heading to the World Cup with Norway, but ends the season with the Premier League's golden boot after scoring 27 goals.

Foden was unable to provide a final flourish, his goal chalked off for a slender offside, but the full-time whistle was nevertheless greeted with the home supporters serenading their legendary boss.

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to BBC MOTD: "I leave with an incredible sense of peace, I gave everything. Good things, bad things, it's part of the sport. I feel so much love, that is the truth.

"I am a guy who likes to move - in Barcelona with one of the best teams ever but I moved. Then Bayern, I moved. As a player I went to Mexico and Italy. To spend 10 years - I connected incredibly with the people in the club. That's the most important thing when you work. Khaldoon [City chairman], he is one of the kindest people I have met in my life.

"I said to my dad, 95 years old - it doesn't matter what happens, if you have to come in a wheelchair, but I want you to come and see how the people love your son. I am a father and one day I want my son and two daughters to feel what I feel from the people of Manchester. This is the best gift.

"Thank you so much to all the people. The name of my family, my mum and dad will be there [on the new North Stand]. I asked desperately to remain a part of this club."

Here are just some of the Premier League records Manchester City set during Pep Guardiola's time in charge:

• Only team in English history to win four top-flight titles in a row
• The most points in a single Premier League season (100 - 2017/18)
• Only team in Premier League history to record 90 points or more four

• Quickest manager to 100, 150, 200, 250 Premier League wins.
• Quickest manager to 500, 600, 700, 800 Premier League points.
• Most Premier League wins in a calendar year (36 - 2021)
• Most Premier League away wins in a calendar year (2019 - 2021)
• Most wins in a single Premier League season (32 - 2017/18 and 2018/19)
• Most goals in a single Premier League season (106 - 2017/18)

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola addressing the Etihad crowd after full-time whistle on Sunday: "I'm so nervous right now. Why do you love me so much? Why do you do that to me?

"I never imagined the amount of love, it had been an incredible, tremendous honour to be your manager for 10 years. Incredible emotions. My dad is here today in the stands, 95-years old - wow! Maybe he doesn't realise but I'm pretty sure in many years this stand that looks really beautiful, the name of my family will be there. That is the hugest honour.

"It is an immense honour my family will have for the rest of my life. The players don't know it, but I will be up there [in the Pep Guardiola Stand] controlling them! The players have a huge responsibility to continue these standards - hopefully they fight and fight and fight. This is my home.

"Over the next years, wherever in the world, if you see my in the streets or here at Etihad Stadium, if you are a City fan come to me. It has been a huge honour to represent this club. Every decision I took I thought was the best for this club. I love you so much. It has been fun."

There wasn’t a dry eye at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon as Pep Guardiola said goodbye to Manchester City.

The 55-year-old has overseen an unprecedented period of success at the club since joining in 2016.

Guardiola has led City to 20 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph.

Last week, it was announced that the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager will join the City Football Group as an advisor, working across all of the club’s teams - including Manchester City - within their model.

Let's have a look at what he had to say in his farewell speech on Sunday...

Sunday afternoon marked the end of an era for several clubs up and down the Premier League.

From Pep Guardiola, John Stones and Bernardo Silva departing Manchester City to Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson leaving Liverpool, it was an emotional day for many.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro and Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier also left their respective clubs ahead of moves to pastures new this summer.

On the managerial front, Andoni Iraola guided Bournemouth to European qualification for the first time in the club’s history in his final game in charge of the Cherries, while Marco Silva may also have overseen his final match as Fulham manager.

From Arsenal’s coronation to West Ham’s relegation - and everything else in between - the final day had it all.

You can relive all the drama from the final day of the season by watching the highlights below.

On the other side of London, it was despair for West Ham as their 14-year stay in the Premier League came to an end despite beating Leeds at London Stadium.

The Hammers needed to win and hope that Tottenham lost against Everton to have any hope of retaining their top-flight status.

For a long while it looked like they would struggle to get the victory they needed as they put in a lethargic display in sweltering conditions, with their cause not helped by Spurs having taken a first-half lead against Everton.

But the moment the home fans had been waiting for came in the 67th minute when Taty Castellano headed in Jarrod Bowen's corner at the back post.

It got even better for the home side with 11 minutes remaining as they doubled their lead, Bowen driving a neat, angled finish into the far corner.

Substitute Callum Wilson added a third in stoppage time, and the Hammers had done their part but they still needed Everton to turn things around at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

That outcome failed to materialise as Roberto De Zerbi's side held firm to win and retain their Premier League status.

Relegation means West Ham will play Championship football for the first time since the 2011-12 season.

After 22 long, painful years, Arsenal finally got their hands on the Premier League trophy again on Sunday.

The Gunners rounded off their domestic campaign in style, beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park.
