Salah, Lille and Liverpool
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott gave Liverpool a 2-1 win over Lille and secured progress to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
Liverpool supporters think that Mohamed Salah must have signed a new contract after seeing what one of his teammates did during the Champions League clash with Lille. On Tuesday night, Liverpool confirmed their place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-1 victory French side Lille at Anfield.
“Hopefully (it’s) not the last one,” said Salah, whose contract expires at the end of the season and has increasingly raised the prospect that this could be his last with the Merseyside club.
Liverpool have won all six of their League Phase games so far, sitting pretty at the top of the table. To confirm their spot in the top eight of the table, which guarantees a spot in the last 16 without going through the playoff round, they need a point against French upstarts Lille on Tuesday.
Liverpool have won 2-1 against Lille in their Champions League match at Anfield. Mohamed Salah scored on the counter-attack in the first half and the hosts were cruising when Lille’s Aissa Mandi was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Liverpool player ratings so far this season. The club continues their trophy charge as they battle on all fronts.
Mohamed Salah continues to lead Liverpool from the front as he scored the opening goal in their 2-1 victory against LOSC Lille in the Champions League. Curtis Jones played a stunningly incisive pass to find Mohamed Salah in acres of space, who caressed the ball past Lucas Chevalier to hand Arne Slot’s side the lead.
If this is Mohamed Salah’s final season at Liverpool, he is going out in style. The Egypt striker scored his 50th European goal for Liverpool and his 22nd in all competitions this season to help Arne Slot’s team secure a place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-1 win against Lille.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has said he is "very, very proud" of becoming the first player in the club's history to score 50 goals in Europe.
