Andy Robertson eyes another iconic Anfield night before Liverpool exit

Liverpool trail PSG 2-0 from the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Robertson believes that Liverpool players giving supporters something to get behind can generate another special night at Anfield

It's been an emotional few days for Andy Robertson after it was confirmed that his nine-year odyssey with Liverpool will come to an end in the summer.

On Saturday evening, Scotland's captain was left in no doubt that he will leave an indelible mark at Anfield when the Kop serenaded him before and after a 2-0 victory over Fulham eased the pressure on manager Arne Slot and kept the Merseysiders in control of their own destiny as they look to qualify for the Champions League.

But how Robertson would love to see Liverpool's iconic stadium in all its majestic glory just one more time. Overcoming a 2-0 first-leg deficit to eliminate European champions Paris St Germain and book a place in the semi-finals of club football's most coveted competition would be up there with famous nights that have seen the likes of Barcelona and Manchester City freeze under the lights during the 32-year-old's time at the club.

For recent recruits like Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Etikike, the game is an opportunity for them to realise how Anfield can strike fear into the hearts of even Lionel Messi and Kevin De Bruyne.

Robertson said: "The new players have had a little taste of it this season in terms of the few home Champions League games we had that were big, and a few Premier League games.

"But when you get to the later stages of the Champions League, Anfield knows how to produce. But we've always said that we (the players) need to give them something to get behind and that's up to the lads on the pitch to go and try to do that.

"I think it will be another special night. Usually the fans welcome the bus in and they're all in the ground a bit earlier.

"Look, we're going to need Anfield on Tuesday night - that's a fact. But more importantly it starts with the players and it's up to us. The fans don't need much to react and it's up to us to give them something to react off.

"If we do that they I think something special can happen. We've proved that over the time I've been here. We've had plenty of special nights here, in the Champions League especially, and Tuesday can be another one."

Robertson is aiming to have his future settled before he leads his country into the World Cup. He contemplated leaving Liverpool after lifting the Premier League title for the second time last season. In January, he resisted an approach from Tottenham, but the London club will be back if they can maintain their Premier League status.

With Mohamed Salah also confirming that his time on Merseyside will come to an end at the end of the season, the changing of the guard left behind by Jurgen Klopp is almost complete.

But, for now, Robertson still has unfinished business. Rio Ngumoha gave a tantalising glimpse of the future by scoring Liverpool's first goal against Fulham before the 17-year-old was then involved in the move that saw Salah score the second.

He added: "I don't want to be going to the World Cup with anything hanging over my head but, for now, I am fully focussed on getting Liverpool to where I believe they belong.

"Look, these eras come to an end. That's what's happening - and in the next couple of years some of the other lads will leave in terms of their contracts and things like that.

"I've been here nine years and I couldn't have dreamed of it being any better with all the trophies I've won. To stay at a club like this for nine years is something I'm incredibly proud of and it's now time for me and my family to let Liverpool crack on and I'll look back on some amazing memories.

"It's not like I've knocked back a contract - there was no contract on the table. It was a conversation of 'okay, this is what I want to do, I want to play and I believe I've still got the ability to play.' I think I have showed that this season.

"Look you can't be promised anything at this club - and that's absolutely fine. It can't be promised at any club. But maybe it's time for the story to end and obviously me and Mo have both made that decision.

"We're not getting any younger. I saw a picture the other day of the Champions League final and even from the big squad picture, there's only five or six of us left."
