He led the club to the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in 11 years, bagging an impressive 10 goals and 4 assists. He has developed a perfect understanding with his fellow Liverpool attackers, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. Together, they have been working massively to lead The Reds to European glory. The last time Liverpool reached the semi-finals of the competition was in 2008, under the then manager, Rafa Benitez.
Salah is one of the most impressive players in the tournament this term. He has proved his worth in a fantastic fashion and is currently in the second position on the top scorers' chart. He broke Samuel Eto's record for most goals in a single season by an African player (8) as well as becoming the first African to score 10 goals in a single Champions League season.
With his 2 goals and 2 assists against Roma on Tuesday, he has put The Reds in a good position to qualify for the final of the competition.
