Mohamed Salah enjoyed yet another superb Liverpool season. He was in the title race until the last round of the Premier League, he played in the Champions League finals and his team won the FA and League Cups. The Egyptian international scored and assisted , he won his third Premier League Golden Boot (tied with Tottenham’s Son Heung-min). He was also named the Premier League Fans’ Player of the Year. Looking at the stats from the last five years, Salah is in the first place with 164 goals and assists combined (118 + 16), while Harry Kane has 28 less in the second place.I cannot express in words how much we wanted to bring that trophy back to Liverpool but in the end we couldn’t. I cannot thank the fans enough for your support. It has been a very long season but a part of me wishes the next one starts again tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/6ECyIL0AHN— Mohamed Salah (@MoSalah) June 2, 2022 And he appreciates all individual awards, but still cannot get over the Champions League’s loss to Real in the finals.“Being recognized by the fans and by the sports journalists in the same season is something special that I will never forget. However, I would give all those personal awards for the opportunity to play that final again, but that is not how football works. I cannot stress enough how much we wanted to bring that trophy back to Liverpool, but in the end we just couldn’t. I can’t thank the fans enough for their support. It’s been a long season, but part of me wants it to come back” said Salah on his Twitter account.21.45: (2.35) Belgium (3.40) Netherlands (3.25)The Egyptian international obviously had a hard time accepting this defeat from Real, a second one in his career. The same final took place in Kyiv back in 2018 and Real was victorious 3-1. Ahead of this year’s final, Salah expressed his desire that Liverpool play against Real in the finals, and not Manchester City.“I prefer Real Madrid. We lost in the final against them, so I want to play and beat them” he said at the time. And he got his wish, he played Real, but failed again. And he also lost the Premier League title, lost in AFCON finals and failed to qualify for the World Cup. He may be Premier League Golden Boot, but so far 2022 was terrible for the Egyptian.
