This has been a very successful partnership because Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest legends at Anfield. The Pharaoh has reached his peak since joining Liverpool, and he has accomplished a lot there. His stay has been amazing, and the Egyptian has continued to get better every season, making this a fantastic deal.
And as is customary, Mohamed Salah was nominated for the golden ball after it was awarded. However, Lionel Messi of Argentina won the award, and the Pharaoh finished in 11th place, with players like Kylian Mbappé and Ernst Haaland placing several places above the Pharaoh. This should have been different given what the Pharaoh accomplished in the previous tournament. The previous season was a complete disaster for the Reds, finishing fifth in one of the worst seasons since Jürgen Klopp took over. However, things were different for the Pharaoh, as Salah broke multiple records and cemented his incredible career at Anfield by ranking fifth in Reds history goals scored, leaving an enduring legacy for Liverpool.
In addition to now ranking 12th among Premier League all-time goal scorers, Salah has the opportunity to overtake Jermain Defoe this season—the Pharaoh has 147 goals to Defoe’s 163—and take the eighth spot. He therefore had a stronger season than Mbappé and Haaland, but he was not acknowledged for it and finished in fifth place.
Salah’s exceptional performance this year
Even though the Pharaoh is among the best players in the world and has been for a number of years, Salah is having an incredible season, and the Pharaoh appears to be playing at his highest level since joining Anfield. If last season was successful for the Pharaoh, this one will be even better and he will be able to compete more closely in order to win the next golden ball, which would also be another reason for the Pharaoh to stay at Anfield longer.
