Salah Hints at Leaving Liverpool After Successful Win Over Man City
Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s star forward, has hinted that the recent 2-0 victory over Manchester City could be his final appearance against the reigning champions at Anfield, with his future at the club still uncertain.
The Egyptian international played a pivotal role in securing the three points for Liverpool, setting up Cody Gakpo for the opening goal before confidently converting a penalty in the second half to seal the win.
This impressive result pushed Jurgen Klopp’s side to a commanding nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League, leaving Manchester City 11 points behind.
Salah’s performance was a testament to his skill and leadership on the pitch, but off the field, his contract situation is starting to become a topic of conversation once again.
With his current deal expiring at the end of the season, many fans and pundits have been speculating about his future with the Reds.
After the game, Salah was once again asked about his plans moving forward.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he shared that he is currently reflecting on his future. “Honestly, it’s in my head,” he said.
“Until now, this is the last City game I will play for Liverpool, so I was just going to enjoy it. The atmosphere was incredible, so I will enjoy every second here.”
Salah, who has been one of Liverpool’s most important players since joining the club in 2017, did not shy away from expressing his excitement for the season ahead, but also left his future open-ended.“Hopefully, we just win the league and will see what will happen,” he added.
The 2-0 win over Manchester City is significant not only for the points it adds to Liverpool’s tally but also for the psychological boost it gives the team in their ongoing title challenge.
With the likes of Gakpo, who is gradually finding his feet at Anfield, and the return to form of key players like Salah, Liverpool looks primed to compete at the highest level this season.
Former Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has sent his congratulations to his former club after they won the 2024/2025 La Liga title. The Inter Miami star shared a picture from Barcelona’s official Instagram celebrating the trophy and simply wrote, “Congratulations.”
Messi left Barcelona in 2021 for Paris Saint-Germain after his contract ended. This season, Barcelona secured their 28th La Liga crown with a 2-0 win over Espanyol, sealing a memorable treble.
Before this league victory, the Catalan giants had already claimed the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, finishing ahead of rivals Real Madrid. However, their Champions League journey ended earlier when Inter Milan knocked them out.
After helping Barcelona clinch the 2024/25 La Liga title with a 2-0 win over Espanyol, winger Lamine Yamal took a moment to praise one football legend. Speaking after the match, Yamal named Lionel Messi, now with Inter Miami, as the greatest player in football history.
The young Spain international was humble, saying he could never compare himself to the Argentine superstar. “I would never compare myself to Messi… Leo is the best player ever,” Yamal said.
Messi spent 21 memorable seasons at Barcelona, winning a record 34 trophies including ten La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns before moving to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021. Yamal’s respect for Messi shows the lasting impact the legend continues to have on the new generation of football stars.
Former Italy coach Fabio Capello has named Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal as the best footballer in the world right now. Capello, who once managed top clubs like Real Madrid, overlooked big names like Mohamed Salah, Ousmane Dembele, and even Raphinha to crown the 17-year-old as his top pick for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
He praised Yamal for doing things far beyond his age and compared the teenager to football icons like Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Yamal played a major role in Spain’s European Championship victory last year, even though he was just 16 at the time.
This season, he helped Barcelona reach the Champions League semifinals and led them to a La Liga title, matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s haul while scoring and assisting in a key 2-0 win over rivals Espanyol.
That victory sealed a domestic treble for Barça. Speaking to El Partidazo de COPE, Capello revealed his top three picks for the Ballon d’Or: Real Madrid stars Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe took second and third place, but Lamine Yamal topped his list.
In his words, “For the Ballon d’Or, I would vote Lamine Yamal. My votes would be: Vinicius, Mbappe, and first, Lamine Yamal.” Capello ended by praising Yamal’s brilliance and fearless playing style, likening it to that of the greatest footballers the game has ever seen.
