A number of tributes have been going in for Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard, who prepares to play his final game at Anfield.

The midfielder has joined LA Galaxy on a two-year contract and will be linking up with his new teammates after the end of the Premier league season. Since Liverpool conclude this campaign with an away match against Stoke City, a lot of tributes have been flowing in for Gerrard ahead of the final home game for Liverpool against Crystal Palace. The 34-year-old has spent his entire career at the club despite interest from several top clubs on numerous occasions.

Francesco Totti is also a legend in his own right. He has been at Roma since becoming a professional. Unlike Gerrard, it does not seem as if the Italian international is not ready to leave Roma for a final stint in the MLS or the Middle East. The 40-year-old continues to be a key player at the club. Gerrard, however, was in and out of the team during his final season and this appears to have played a major factor in convincing the player to leave Liverpool. Totti has lavished praise on the 34-year-old by saying that he is the complete midfielder in the world.

Totti has come up against Gerrard on several occasions in the European competition.”Ultimately, he’s a player I like to watch and enjoy up close. The Liverpool fans should be honoured to have had a captain like him.I’ve got both positive and negative memories of Steven Gerrard because it’s always great to come up against players like him.That said, I don’t have particularly fond memories of playing against Liverpool, especially at their place. They were always open games but ultimately the results were negative,” said the Roma captain about Steven Gerrard ahead of his departure.
