Robertson, 32, leaves Anfield having made 377 appearances, won two Premier League titles, one Champions League, one FA Cup and two League Cups, and having established himself as one of the finest left-backs in European football across a near-decade in which Liverpool were transformed from Premier League also-rans into one of the continent's dominant clubs.
He was signed from Hull City for £8m in the summer of 2017 — a fee that now looks one of the great bargains in Premier League history — and has been in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over a free transfer that would keep him in England's top flight.
He was candid about what defined the Klopp era from the inside.
"The Champions League final sticks out, that whole day, night, and then the parade the next day, doing it with your best mates. That was the best 24 to 48 hours of my life — apart from my kids and my marriage, I need to put that on record. We were all on this most amazing journey ever, all together. When we started out, Mo Salah didn't sign as the best winger in the world. Virgil van Dijk had the potential but he wasn't the best centre-back in the world. We were all just coming through."
He described the psychological edge that group developed at its peak.
"We'd beat teams in the tunnel. We went into games not with an arrogance — it was just, 'There's no way we can get beat if we perform the way we can' — and we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to perform to the highest level. More often than not, we did."
On the current season, Robertson was honest about the context surrounding the club's collapse, pointing specifically to the death of Diogo Jota, which cast a long shadow over the opening months of the campaign.
"What we went through in the summer — no team will ever go through that. No member of staff will go through it. The devastation… football didn't matter. We didn't care about football for weeks."
He also defended the players who have arrived and who are adjusting to life at a club with the standards Liverpool demand.
"We bought players we all got excited about, and they will all have an unbelievable career at Liverpool. But they are young. I have seen more than enough in training, games and their attitude to know they will be successful. But they need a little bit of time."
He leaves content with what he gave and what he received.
"I didn't know if I was going to be successful, if I was going to be good enough or if I would win trophies. But what I did promise myself was that I was going to give 100 per cent every day to have the best possible chance. That's what I'm most proud about."
