In what will be his last season at Anfield (barring last-minute ‘express’ renewal), Mohamed Salah is having a dream season. At 32 years old, he has equaled the best level of his career and leads a Liverpool team that is a candidate for absolutely everything. Leaders in the Premier, full in the Champions League, alive in the Cups… and with impressive numbers.

It will be difficult to improve the figures of 2017/18 (his debut season at Liverpool, that of the Champions League final in kyiv against Real Madrid) because the Egyptian’s numbers were extraordinary. Typical of Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. 44 points, he signed.

But this course is on its way. Especially for the goals that, even if he doesn’t score, he does generate. That season he delivered 14 assists, this season he has now reached 17. And we are in January. He has 22 goals and 17 assists in 31 games. The accounts come out on their own. Generates more than one goal per game.

Against Lille, in the Champions League, he shone again, scoring 1-0. “I think Salah has always had a smile on his face, but it is precisely that confidence in himself that he will score the next goal that makes him so dangerous. That is the elite mentality of a player of his caliber,” said the former Liverpool Stephen Warnock on the ‘BBC’.

“We speak with enthusiasm about Mohamed Salah and we know what he is capable of. He has already scored 50 goals in Europe and he is a true talisman for Liverpool,” said Robbie Fowler, also a former Liverpool player.

For the former Roma, Chelsea, Fiorentina or Basel there are 50 goals in European competitions, including the Europa League. 45 in the Champions League. That’s 9 more than the previous record holder, a myth like Steven Gerrard.

Meanwhile, he continues to enter Liverpool’s history: 233 goals in 380 games. He is the fourth all-time leading scorer for the ‘Reds’, only behind Gordon Hodgson (241), Roger Hunt (285) and Ian Rush (346).
