Jordan Henderson almost broke down in tears during emotional Liverpool ending

Jordan Henderson has described how 'difficult' it was to say goodbye to his departing Liverpool teammates, with four players leaving following the expiry of their contracts at the end of the season.

Anfield paid tribute to the four departing Reds stars following Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa, with Roberto Firmino, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner all leaving when the campaign draws to a close. Firmino marked the occasion by scoring a late equaliser in the match having been brought on as a substitute by Jurgen Klopp during the second-half.

After the match, the Brazilian was in tears before being joined by teammates in a guard of honour led by Henderson. Each departing player made their way through their gathered teammates before being presented with a parting gift by legendary former Reds player and manager Kenny Dalglish.
