No one would have thought that Jurgen Klopp's biggest coup as Reds boss would come from a player who came from fine displays in Italy with the likes of Fiorentina and Roma, with Mohamed Salah becoming a true attacking monster once his return to England came about with Liverpool in the summer of the 2017-2018 season, a year when English league records began to be painted in red and Egyptian nationality.

Until 2017 and before Salah returned to the Premier League after a dark past at Chelsea, the different achievements in the competition belonged to players of different nationalities, with some active in other leagues and a couple more already in retirement, with several players trying to break those records without much success until Liverpool's Egyptian attacker appeared on the scene and within a year he had his name engraved on several records.

Most goals scored in a single campaign, most goals in a season by an African player, most goals as a winger in the PL, are just some of the accolades the player now has to his credit, not settling for those already achieved as he seeks to surpass his own figures and set new, harder-to-beat records, including more competitions such as the Carabao Cup and the UEFA Champions League.

Regarding the endless achievements that Mohamed Salah has today, he himself assured that he is obsessed with records, although that situation does not make him lose his head in matches and harm his team, being focused at all times on the group objective but without neglecting the individual. "I'm always focused on the team, but somehow, I always find myself looking at the records," he said.

Even when the Egyptian was living a dark moment with Liverpool, he kept looking for the solution to all the problems that surrounded him, finding in certain individualities the formula to improve the group and its statistics, and with a better stability he managed to lead his team towards victory, having his reward in a game against Rangers of Scotland in the Champions League when he scored the fastest hat-trick in the history of the competition.
