The 26-year-old will leave Anfield as a two-time Premier League champion, having also won the Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, Super Cup and Carabao Cup before he completes a long-awaited free transfer to Real Madrid. Liverpool fans expressed their anger at his decision to leave when his contract expires by booing him when he came off the bench against Arsenal, and he may be targeted again in his last game.
WHAT ROBERTSON SAID
Liverpool star Robertson hopes to see his team-mate appreciated on Sunday, though, as he aimed a message to the club's fans when he posted an emotional farewell to Alexander-Arnold in the build-up to their final game together.
"My brother, where to even start! It has been an absolute privilege watching you grow from a boy to a man over these last eight years," he wrote. "You have won it all and created amazing memories along the way. I want to thank you for constantly pushing me to new limits and setting the bar so high that I had no choice but to follow.
"You are going to be a huge miss around the training ground and an even bigger miss on the pitch. I hope all the hard work you have put into this club, the moments you have given us and the massive contribution you have made are recognised as they should be…Wingmen one last time."
ALEXANDER-ARNOLD REPLIES
The departing Reds star commented on the post: "My brother memories to last a life time, thank you for everything. One last dance."
