Mohamed Salah has been on a roll this season. And many even consider him to be the frontrunner for the Ballon d’Or in 2025. The Liverpool Right Winger has been tearing up the opposition defence for fun and has already amassed extraordinary numbers that only Messi or Ronaldo have pulled off in the past 15-20 seasons.
No matter the opposition, the Egyptian King, as he is fondly called, finds a way to either score a goal or get an assist. And sometimes he does both of those things In a single game. The number 11 for Liverpool has been the biggest contributor to the Scouse club’s success this season and has steered them atop the Premier League table as well as the Champions League table before the start of 2025. And as long as Salah stays fit and ready to play, with the kind of form he is in, it doesn’t seem possible to get the better of Arne Slot’s Liverpool.
While credit must be given to the new manager, Salah’s numbers for the Reds this season are just nuts. The 32-year-old has already added 34 Goals and Assists to his tally for the season in just 29 games. Out of which, 16 goals and 11 assists have come in the Premier League in 17 matches for Liverpool. Meanwhile, in LFC’s 6 Champions League games, Salah scored 2 goals and provided 4 assists.
Mohamed Salah Defeats The Christmas Curse
For the longest time ever, and that being 2-3 seasons, fans have observed a pattern with Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian always starts the season on a high and so do Liverpool, but roughly after Christmas, both the player and his club start to falter. And with Salah’s astronomical start to this season’s campaign, there was a lot of talk about his “Christmas Curse”. That is, whenever Mo Salah uploaded a family pic on Christmas, he failed to carry on with his blistering form. Many blame it on the man himself for not being true to his faith and religion as Muslims are not allowed to celebrate Christmas and Mo Salah is a devout Muslim.
But this time around, not even the Christmas Curse stopped the man. On Boxing Day, a day after he uploaded the Christmas Family Photo on his Social Media, Mohamed Salah scored a wonderful goal against Leicester City to put all the negative narratives to bed.
