The 36-year-old brought an end to his 16-year
football career on Monday after he left Swiss club Lugano in August
The Senegal star netted one of the Premier
League’s most iconic goals, punishing a Steven Gerrard slip as Liverpool blew
the title in 2013-14.
With Demba Ba announcing his retirement from
football it’s only fair we post his most iconic goal.
Announcing his retirement, Ba posted to say
“his heart is filled with gratefulness” following a 16-year career at the top.
But that was the last emotion Gerro and Co
felt seven years ago when the Reds lost 2-0 at Anfield to Jose Mourinho’s
Chelsea side.
Mourinho’s tactical grip frustrated Liverpool
on the break, never more so than when Gerrard lost possession on halfway and Ba
strode clear to slot the Blues in front.
The England midfielder’s despair as his last
big chance of finally winning the Prem faded was clear on TV screens across the
country, Manchester City snatching the crown by two points the following month.
If it was Gerrard’s most notorious moment of
failure, it was Ba’s most famous moment of success.
And looking back on his overall achievements,
Ba posted on Twitter: “It is with a heart filled with gratefulness that I
announce the end of my playing career.
