The Kop held up a mosiac in honour of Hyypia before kick-off and sang his name throughout the match. After leading the players on a lap of honour after the game the defender thanked the fans for a decade of support.
"It was fantastic and I would like to thank the fans for that and for their wonderful support to me during the 10 years I have been at the club," said Hyypia.
"There were a few tears at the end and I was surprised I managed to keep them inside until then. That was a sad moment for me.
"I've always had a really good relationship with the fans. They have treated me as their own from day one and that will never change. I will miss them.
"Goodbyes are never easy but life goes on. Now I'm looking forward to a new challenge in Germany but I'm leaving Liverpool behind with great memories but sad feelings."
