Salah's six best moments at Liverpool, from that City screamer to Kyiv heartbreak

Mohamed Salah's worst night in a Liverpool shirt tells you everything about how far he'd come. When Sergio Ramos bundled him off the pitch at Kyiv in that 2018 Champions League final, Salah left in tears. Genuinely inconsolable. And here's the thing — it wasn't just Liverpool fans who felt gutted watching it happen. Everyone did.

By that point, Salah had already done enough in his first season to earn respect across the entire Premier League. Yeah, even from rival supporters. That kind of thing doesn't happen often. Players get respect for being good. Salah got it because of how he played and how he carried himself. There was something humble about the bloke alongside all that devastating finishing.

Looking back at his Anfield career, the highlights are scattered everywhere. That goal against Manchester City was the kind of moment that makes you understand why defenses lose sleep over him. Then there's the redemption arc — because that's what his Liverpool story became after Kyiv. He didn't spiral or get bitter. He just kept scoring, kept improving.

The thing about Salah is he transformed what people expected from a Liverpool forward. When he showed up, nobody could've predicted he'd become this kind of player. But within weeks, it was obvious. The way he moved, the timing of his runs, the clinical finishing — it all clicked immediately. And it wasn't just about the goals, though there were plenty. It was the manner of them. Clean. Efficient. Sometimes audacious.

That final in Kyiv hurt him more than most defeats ever could. You could see it in his face. But it also became a turning point. Not because he had something to prove — he'd already proven it — but because he showed he cared deeply about winning with Liverpool. The tears weren't about ego. They were about unfinished business.

His six best moments capture the arc of something special. From breakthrough performances to that devastating loss to the goals that came after. Each one tells you something about why he's mattered so much to the club and why even opposing fans couldn't help but admire what he was doing.
