We can’t be sure, but it appears someone important is playing his final home match for Liverpool today.
Here’s how Twitter is chasing it down.
The home fans saying a spectacular farewell to Gerrard. Extremely emotional moment. #YNWA #LFC #BPLonNBC pic.twitter.com/O1gSEj6yRQ

Legend gets thrown around too often but #Gerrard is one of them! Fantastic career. #YNWA Remarkably, he kept the same haircut throughout.👱😂

Lallana scores for Liverpool and runs straight into the arms of Gerrard. So wonderfully beautiful It’s become all too much for me.

Very cool for #Gerrard being able to experience that ovation with his family. Now don’t get hurt buddy, We’ve got an MLS title to defend!

Watching Steven Gerrard’s last match at Anfield. It’s going to be exciting to have this guy on our team. #lagalaxy

Crystal Palace fans not taking all the adulation lying down. Chants of “Have You Ever Seen Gerrard Win The League?”

Gerard was my football hero growing up, any kid that loved football wanted to be him #Gerrard

If I was Brendan Rodgers, I’d have told Gerrard before the game, “There’s no way they can send you off today. Take advantage of that.”

If that doesn’t give you goosebumps I don’t know what will. #Gerrard

Such class. Gonna be missed in the @premierleague although a enemy must respect Gerrard #YNWAGerrard

VIDEO: Steven Gerrard’s ovation from the crowd here at Anfield, for the final time. Wow. #LFC #BPLonNBC #YNWA pic.twitter.com/jBXf7o5C4s

Pretty harsh that Gerrard brought his daughters out but rejected his son Moreno

Man Utd fans say Gerrard isn’t a top player because he hasn’t won the league. Djimi Traore won Champions League, is he better than Cantona?
— Mersey Reds (@MerseyReds1) May 16, 2015
Lampard, Giggs, Scholes all bowed out quietly with little fuss. Gerrard’s farewell is as if the EPL itself is ending. Get over yourself.

Wait, Steven Gerrard is leaving Liverpool?!??? Why didn’t anybody tell me?????
