Mohamed Salah is having another standout year for the Reds. Statistically, it’s his best year through 17 games, putting up double figures with ten goals and ten assists. Despite his Ballon d’Or type performances for the table-leading Reds, the Egyptian King is still criminally underrated. Just ask Rodri, who’s named him and Messi as one of the toughest players he’s matched up against.
Salah is one of the best Liverpool players of all-time. It’s also quite clear that at 32 years old, Salah is figuring out ways to adapt his game. No wonder he keeps producing unbelievable moments of creativity, thanks to a little piece of advice from Professor Wenger. Look back at the winger’s best moments in the iconic Liverpool shirt.
Liverpool vs Chelsea, April 2019
It was a rocket. Salah took revenge against his former Chelsea side with a curling screamer. The winger received the ball from a 35-yard Virgil van Dijk pass before cutting inside and smashing it home from outside the box.
Liverpool vs Manchester City, October 2021
He took on the entire Man City defense and won. Salah’s solo run against Manchester City in October 2021 was a thing of magic. He squeezes his way out of three players, then jukes and cuts inside on Laporte before finishing it off past Ederson.
Watford vs. Liverpool, October 2021
What do you after scoring one of the most ridiculous solo goals against Manchester City? Of course, do it again. But this time on Watford, as Salah sat down three defenders pecking away at the ball, before dabbling in a left-boot finish. “Dejavu all over again,” screamed the announcer. Indeed.
Liverpool vs Manchester United January 2020
Strength and pace. That sums up Salah’s exquisite goal against Manchester United during the Reds title-winning Premier League season. The Egyptian Sideshow Bob, as Salah’s haircut was at the time, ran down a forward-thinking Alisson-tossed ball and beat out the ever-pacy Daniel James to put it past De Gea. Salah promptly celebrated with this shirt off, knowing it was worthy of the moment.
Tottenham vs Liverpool 2019 Champions League final
It wasn’t the glorious of goals; it was a penalty kick. But after getting injured in the previous season’s Champions League final against Real Madrid, the goal against Tottenham meant everything. And he hit with venom, leaving a diving Hugo Lloris no chance but to whiff at it.
