In a season that will be etched in football history, Mohamed Salah has once again demonstrated why he is considered one of the greatest players of his generation. The Egyptian forward’s 2024/25 Premier League campaign with Liverpool was nothing short of phenomenal, culminating in a series of accolades that underscore his exceptional talent and dedication to the sport.
Salah concluded the season with an impressive tally of 29 goals and 18 assists, totaling 47 goal involvements. This achievement matches the Premier League record for the most goal contributions in a single season, previously held by legends Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, albeit in a 42-game season compared to the current 38-game format.
His remarkable performance earned him the Premier League’s Golden Boot and Playmaker awards, making him the first player to secure both honors in the same season twice, having previously achieved this feat in the 2021/22 season. Furthermore, Salah was named the Premier League Player of the Season, becoming the first player to clinch all three awards in a single campaign.
Salah’s extraordinary season did not go unnoticed. He was honored with the Football Writers’ Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year award for the third time, joining Thierry Henry as the only players to have received this accolade thrice . The FWA noted that Salah secured nearly 90% of the votes, marking the largest winning margin this century.
Egypt’s Minister of Youth and Sports, Ashraf Sobhi, lauded Salah’s achievements, stating, “Salah is not just a symbol of sporting excellence—he’s a true role model for Egyptian youth. His dedication, perseverance, and relentless drive serve as a beacon of inspiration for future generations.”
Beyond the statistics, Salah’s influence extends to his role as a cultural ambassador for Egypt. His success on the international stage has elevated Egypt’s profile in global sports and inspired countless young athletes in the region.
Salah’s commitment to Liverpool was further solidified with a contract extension until 2027, ensuring that fans will continue to witness his brilliance at Anfield for years to come.
As Salah continues to break records and set new standards, the football world watches with anticipation. His journey from Nagrig to Anfield serves as a testament to what talent, hard work, and determination can achieve. With his eyes set on future challenges, including potential Ballon d’Or recognition, Salah’s story is far from over.
In celebrating Salah’s monumental season, we not only honor his individual accomplishments but also acknowledge the broader impact of his success on Egyptian pride and the global football community.
