Just How Good Has Mohamed Salah Been This Season?

25/02/25 12:26

There is no doubt that Mohamed Salah will not only go down in history as one of the best players to ever don on a Liverpool jersey but be classed as a Premier League and UEFA Champions League great too. This season, Salah has taken his game to another level, producing unprecedented numbers, making him one of if not the favourite for the prestigious Balon D’Or award. We’re going to be looking at all six of the records the Egyptian broke against Manchester City on Sunday.

Season Long Standards

Destroying the norm of what a winger can do in the Premier League is a regular occurrence for Mohamed Salah. He has set a standard that will be near impossible to follow for years to come. Reaching 40 plus goal involvements in a season is tough task as it is, having to put in elite performances week in week out. Salah has set the record for not only doing this once but twice in two separate seasons. It was all the way back in his debut season at Liverpool where he got the ball rolling, picking up the Premier League Golden Boot with 32 goals and 10 assists over the course of the 2017/18 season.

Across Europe there has been no one better. Salah became the first player in either the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga or Ligue 1 (Europe’s top 5 leagues) to reach 50 goal contributions in all competitions. As it stands Mo has 30 goals and 21 assists from the 38 games he’s featured in. The next best the Europe has to offer is FC Barcelona’s Raphinha with a very respectable 40 involvements split into 24 goals and 16 assists. If Salah didn’t exist there is not a chance that everyone wouldn’t be raving about the Brazilian but unfortunately for Raphinha, Mohamed Salah is very much real.

Constant Goal Involvements

Liverpool’s 0-2 win at the Etihad Stadium came curtesy of another goal by Mohamed Salah as well as one from Hungary international and captain Dominik Szoboszlai. An odd coincidence was that the pair of them assisted each other’s goals, adding to Salah’s terrific count. That signified his 11th game this season in the Premier League where the Liverpool number 11 has both scored and assisted, the most in a single season for a player in Europe’s top five leagues since the greatest footballer in the world, Lionel Messi did it with FC Barcelona in the 2014/15 season. Mo still has 11 games left in the season to go above and beyond his current tally, setting the record even higher and more difficult to beat.

Mohamed Salah vs The "Big 6"

Mohamed Salah is built for the big games, and he proved that once more in the win over City on Sunday. Over the course of his career, Salah has dominated against the rest of the “Big 6”. With Manchester City winning the Premier League last season at Arsenal’s expense, Mo became the first player in the league’s history to score and assist in both matches against the reigning Premier League champions. It is becoming difficult to find a goalscoring record that doesn’t belong to Mohamed Salah at this point.

Versus The “Big 6” In The Premier League Alone:

  • Manchester City – 16 Appearances – 9 Goals – 6 Assists
  • Manchester United – 15 Appearances – 13 Goals – 6 Assists
  • Chelsea – 14 Appearances – Five Goals – 4 Assists
  • Arsenal – 15 Appearances – 11 Goals – 2 Assists
  • Tottenham Hotspur – 16 Appearances – 11 Goals – 4 Assists

All-Time Great At Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has already ensured that he will be remembered for the rest of time with all the Liverpool supporters around the world. He holds Liverpool’s top spot for the most Premier League goals scored, third in Liverpool’s all-time scoring list with 241 goals at the time of writing, second for the most Premier League assist for Liverpool with 84 and fourth for all-time assist with 109. Salah is one assist behind overtaking one of Liverpool's greatest ever players in Ian Rush who commands an assist tally of 110.

Along with steadily increasing his assist numbers, Mo Salah has already beaten Steve McManaman’s record of the most assists in a Premier League season from back in the 1995/96 campaign. With a few games left, there is a chance that Salah goes nuclear and reaches 20 plus assists in one season on top of his current 25 goal tally.

What’s Next For Mohamed Salah?

There is just two months until the end of the Premier League season and also have the UEFA Champions League knockout stages to contend with. Seeing as Mohamed Salah has been the first player to ever score 25 plus goals and provide over 15 assists in one Premier League season, he could extend those numbers further, potentially reaching 30 goals and 20 assists, topping Alan Shearer’s current record of the most goal involvements with 47 contributions.

The craziest thing about this whole situation is that Mo Salah’s future in the Premier League is still uncertain with Liverpool and his representatives still not coming to an agreement over a new deal with the Merseyside club. I’m pretty sure that all the players and fans of the rest of the 19 clubs in the league will be hoping he doesn’t resign so they can no longer be terrified by his presence.
