He had a great game recently in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester City. This win pushed Liverpool 11 points ahead in the league. Salah became the first player in Premier League history to score and assist against the same team twice in one season.
He has scored and assisted in 11 matches this season. The last player to do this in Europe’s top leagues was Lionel Messi back in 2014-15. His goal against City was his 30th of the season, with 25 of those in the league. This also puts him at 241 goals for Liverpool, tying him with Gordon Hodgson as the third-highest scorer in the club’s history.
Salah’s Favorite Season
When asked if this is his best year, Salah was humble. He said everyone has their own opinion. For him, this season feels special.
“I don’t know. It is opinion,” he told Sky Sports. “Maybe people prefer my first seasons or now, but I prefer now because winning the league and helping young players is special.”
There are just four months left on his contract, and there’s no news on an extension yet. Still, he isn’t letting that distract him. Liverpool is fighting for another Premier League title, a Carabao Cup win, and a big Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. Salah is focused on winning.
Looking for More Titles
Salah talked about how important it is to win more trophies. It’s not just for him; it’s for teammates like Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker too.
“We need another title. Me and the big guys in the team, we need another title,” he said, showing he wants to win.
His amazing play has also put his name in the record books. He’s the first player in Premier League history to help score 40+ goals in two different seasons. He’s also the first in Europe’s top leagues to be involved in 50 goals across all competitions this season.
Coach’s Praise
Liverpool’s head coach, Arne Slot, said it’s tough to find the right words for Salah’s skills. He noted how Salah impacts the team in big ways.
“The numbers speak for themselves,” Slot said. “What pleases me most is that we usually hold the ball a lot. That gives him chances to shine.”
Slot also mentioned how Salah can be a threat even when the game is tough.
“There weren’t many chances to use him, but when he got the ball, he was a threat every time. That shows just how good he is.”
Salah makes it look easy, even when he has to defend.
As Liverpool keeps pushing in different competitions, Salah stays key to their success and continues to inspire his team. Liverpool’s Salah Sets Sights on History.
