Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will leave Liverpool when his contract expires this summer and embark on a new challenge.
The 29-year-old spent six years at Anfield, having joined Jurgen Klopp's side from Arsenal in 2017.
He helped the Reds secure some of the most coveted trophies in the game including the Premier League, Champions League, Carabao Cup, and Emirates FA Cup.
Oxlade-Chamberlain departs the club with wonderful memories. During the 2017-18 season, the England midfielder scored two spectacular goals against Manchester City in the league as well as the Champions League.
“That moment specifically was like a moment of reckoning where I feel like for myself personally, that was the first sort of moment in my career where I sort of felt a bit unstoppable,” he told Liverpoolfc.com in a special farewell interview.
“And I think all of us together sort of grew into that at the same time. I kind of knew Mo before but seeing that same season how Mo just became a superstar, something he’d been working on for years before Liverpool was realised in that season for himself.
“Hendo, who has just been the ultimate professional and obviously was here for years before. Him being able to lead a team that could do what we did at that point, I’m proud that he got that moment that he deserved with that.
“Millie, Robbo… I remember playing against Robbo for Hull. I can remember playing against him many times and thinking it was going to be an easy day – I saw him line up, dodgy haircut, boots not looking too nice, I thought, ‘Yeah, it’s going to be easy.’ [But] I always had a tough day against Robbo.
“And then seeing him in that same season, he started off where Alberto [Moreno] was playing really well, then he just grew into what he is now: one of the best left-backs in the world.
“I feel like we all came into that moment at the same time and that made it even more special. And doing it a club like this and how much the fans love success. Even before me, I’ve never looked at this club as anything but having amazing support, even through times of maybe not winning as much as they would have liked, with some top, top, top players.
“Then for us to have had that opportunity to give them that, that moment was just special. And luckily we managed to carry that on to some extent for the years to come as well.”
“I think that’s something more you’ll look back on when you’ve hung your boots up completely and finished,” Oxlade-Chamberlain said of the success he has contributed to for the club.
“But when I think about it and you’ve brought it up, it’s hard not to think about how special those moments were and how lucky I am to have been a part of something so successful, with great people. And again, that’s the main thing that I love the most about it.
“I guess certain teams can have years of success, a good season here and a good season there and achieve something special and then the team will change quite a lot – people leave, people come in. But I feel like this group has been very solid, a lot of the same boys have been here from the start when I came in.
“We sort of built this last five years of success together. And we have had tough moments in there as well together, and it’s a lot of the same faces. When you go a period of time with a very similar set of people – players and staff – I think that’s what makes it more special.
“That’s what I’m really proud to have been a part of and I’m thankful that I got to share those moments with certain people, for sure.”
