Salah has now scored 40 goals in all competitions for Liverpool. This is the best achievement of a rookie in his first season at Anfield.
Liverpool's record for goals in a previous season belongs to Ian rush. He has torn the net 47 times in 65 appearances in the 1983-84 season. That season, the "Red Brigade" won the treble with the European Cup C1, First Division (the predecessor of the Premier League) and English League Cup titles.
With Liverpool having about 5-7 matches left in both the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League this season, Salah is completely capable of breaking the above record of Ian rush.
In an interview with Premier League Productions, the Egyptian player shared: I have a great chance to break the record. Becoming No. 1 in a team like Liverpool is something big.
I would be very happy if I could break this milestone. I am happy with 40 goals. I want to continue scoring. I want to be number 1".
However, Salah still values team spirit: I will try to break the record but as I said before, we played with 11 people, I played for the team.
These are not awards for individuals, but contributions to the collective. I'm sure if I had the chance to help a player score, I would."
About a month ago, Ian rush himself believed Salah's goals this season would surpass 47.
The greatest striker in Liverpool's history said: "Scoring 47 goals is difficult and I think this record can stand firm. However, the way Salah is playing now, anything can happen. I think this is a reality.
I watched him face Watford and it was the best performance of this revenge I have ever seen. For 1 player, 47 goals will be a great feat. He could have achieved that if we had a smooth journey in the UEFA Champions League.
Ahead of coach Jurgen Klopp and his team will be the match against West Brom in round 35 of the Premier League. This match will take place at The Hawthorns Stadium at 6:30 p.m. on April 21, Vietnam time.
