Mo Salah’s 40-goal season equals with a zero if Liverpool fails to win the Champions League

Liverpool’s Egyptian star Mo Salah’s astonishing season with 40 goals becomes secondary if his team doesn’t reach the Champions League glory. Salah is now five points ahead of Harry Kane in the Golden Boot race and the third player in Liverpool history to reach 40 goals in a season matching Roger Hunt and Ian Rush. Yet all the award will mean nothing for Salah if his teammates end season without a trophy. “To win the Champions League is huge for everyone. I don’t care about the rest,” he explained. “To win the Champions League is ‘whissssshhhh’,” he said with a longing sigh. “I can’t say, just ‘woahhh’,” he added. “I have no doubt the Champions League." said Salah. "If you had a choice between the Champions League and (honours like the Golden Boot) then of course the Champions League.” “It means a lot to me. It’s a great feeling. But even in the end I said it - I try to score every game to help the team. To get the points. That is the most important thing for us, that we play as a team, we play as 11 players. So each goal for me, or for anyone else is to try to help the team.”
