Salah's Fab Five: Ranking the Egyptian King's Best Liverpool Seasons Before He Waves Goodbye

Liverpool fans, it's hitting hard innit? Nine years of Mohamed Salah magic, and now the man's off at the end of 2024-25. From that dodgy Chelsea loan vibe to becoming Anfield's all-time great, he's left a trail of broken nets and shattered defences. As he preps to bid farewell, we've ranked his top five Reds campaigns – courtesy of some sharp digs from Football365 – to remind you why we'll miss the bloke so much. Buckle up for the countdown.

5. 2019-20: Title Glory Amid the Chaos

Picture this: Liverpool storming to their first-ever Premier League crown, but with a pandemic throwing a spanner in the works. Salah bagged 19 league goals in 48 matches total, chipping in 13 assists too. Add the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, and it's a tidy haul.

Before lockdown, the Reds won 26 of their first 27 league games. Salah's cheeky finish from Alisson Becker's long ball sealed a 2-0 Anfield drubbing of Manchester United – the moment Koppites started dreaming big. Solid season, even if COVID soured the party a bit.

4. 2021-22: Quad Tease and Hat-Trick Heroics

Liverpool eyed an unprecedented quadruple, but settled for FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Gutting losses in the Champions League final to Real Madrid and another title nail-biter with City stung. Still, Salah lit it up with 31 goals and 15 assists in 51 games.

October was pure filth: solo stunner vs City, another vs Watford, then – get this – first away player ever to hat-trick at Old Trafford in a 5-0 Liverpool romp. The lad carried the attack like a boss. Frustrating end, but what a ride.

3. 2018-19: European Redemption and Front-Three Fire

Not his highest tally, but Salah's influence peaked in the Champions League triumph. 27 goals, 10 assists in 52 outings, including the opener in the 2-0 final win over Spurs. Shared the Premier League Golden Boot with Sadio Mané and Aubameyang.

Purring alongside Roberto Firmino and Mané under Klopp, Liverpool hit 97 points but missed the league title. Salah's redemption arc was sweet – especially after Roma semis flashbacks from his Roma days. Iconic stuff.

2. 2017-18: Debut Season That Broke Records

Bloke rocks up from Chelsea's scrapheap, scores and assists on debut, then goes nuclear. 44 goal involvements (32 Premier League goals – a record then, four vs Watford alone) and 14 assists in 52 games. No trophies, but reached Champions League final (Karius meltdown vs Real aside).

Iconic moments? Puskás-winning Merseyside derby rocket, dinking Ederson at the Etihad, breakaway vs Arsenal, Roma semis demolition. Debuts don't get better. Doubters silenced quicker than you can say 'Egyptian King'.

1. 2024-25: The Peak, Single-Handedly Delivering Silverware

His first season had more goals, but this? Arguably Salah's masterpiece. 34 goals, 23 assists in 52 matches, dragging Arne Slot's Liverpool to Premier League glory without the old front-three crutches. Golden Boot and first-ever Playmaker double in the league – history made.

By Christmas, he'd scored in all but four league games. Bagged three in Champions League, two en route to Carabao Cup final. One of the best individual Premier League seasons ever, full stop. The veteran's still got it.

What a legacy, eh? From 2017 wildcard to two-time title winner, Salah redefined Liverpool. As he eyes the exit, Reds fans raise a pint to the No.11. Who's filling those boots? Good luck to 'em.
