Salah is our king.”The Liverpool crowd showed their love for Mohamed Salah despite disagreements earlier this seasonAhead of the game, Slot had spoken about the departing duo and his experience with the pair. Regarding Robertson, the Dutchman said, via the Liverpool club website: "If you are the best full-back in England, in the Premier League, it’s almost safe to say you’re the best in the world because this league is incredibly strong."If you add to that the amount of success Liverpool at that time had in Europe, winning the Champions League, playing finals, then I think it’s fair and safe to say, even though I wasn’t in that bubble, that he was in his time, in his prime, the best left full-back in the world."Despite Salah and Slot's relationship being tested this season, the Liverpool manager didn't let that taint his view on the legendary forward, stating: "Summing Mo up, the first thing that comes to my mind, to everyone’s mind, is his goals, his assists and especially scoring in the big moments."And I think this is what makes a great player, an excellent player, or one of the few that has ever played for a club, is that these players always show up in the big moments."So, to have these numbers, that amount of goals is special, but when you can produce in the big moments for a club when they absolutely need you, that is where I think a top, top, top player stands out.
He’s right up there with one or two others to be one of the greatest that has ever played for Liverpool."Slot continued: "Yes, he’s a star when you see him play – he’s an absolute superstar. I’ve enjoyed working with him."Maybe once or twice it was a bit more difficult, but over the long term it was a joy to work with him and we’ve been successful together by winning the league and that will always stay in my mind, as well as how he’s been to me and my staff for the two years we’ve worked together."Both players played vital roles in Liverpool's success under Jurgen Klopp and Slot.
