Mohamed Salah returned to the Premier League with the intention of proving Chelsea wrong for selling him without exploring his potential, but no one including Salah himself would have believed that he would break a record held by world-class players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Alan Shearer.

The former Basel has been on fire since his Liverpool debut, bar a few games. His form saw him score 32 goals in the league beating Harry Kane for the golden boot and also breaking the individual goalscoring record in a 38 game Premier League season.

Salah's season could get even better if the 25-year-old along with his teammates, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, could lead Liverpool to a victory against Real Madrid in less than two weeks.

Winning the UEFA Champions League trophy would make the winger a strong contender for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award.

One season, which saw Salah take the footballing world by storm, has taken him from just a 'Chelsea reject' to the 'Egyptian King'.
