Mohamed Salah Wins Another Award after Record-Breaking Liverpool Season | OneFootball

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah Crowned Player of the Year After Historic Season

When Liverpool supporters look back at the 2024/25 campaign, they will remember more than just silverware. They will remember the season when Mohamed Salah reaffirmed his legendary status and Arne Slot announced himself as a manager capable of blending style with substance.

Salah at the Heart of Liverpool’s Triumph

Liverpool lifted their 20th English league title, a landmark that few predicted at the start of Slot’s debut campaign. At the core of that achievement was Salah. His combination of goalscoring brilliance and creative output ensured he was decisive in match after match.

After finishing both as the Premier League’s top scorer and assist provider, Salah collected an extraordinary set of individual honours. He became the first player to win the PFA Player’s Player of the Year three times, and this week he added Sofascore’s Player of the Year to his collection.

“It will be a surprise to no one that Salah landed himself yet another individual trophy after arguably the best season of his career.” That line encapsulates the mood across Anfield. Supporters were left in awe of a player who has long since moved beyond the status of cult hero to living legend.

Record-Breaking Numbers for Salah

The raw data highlights just how decisive Salah was. His average Sofascore rating of 7.78 across the league season put him clear of any rival. More tellingly, he scored every 116 minutes, producing an average of 0.8 goals per game.

His overall tally stood at 29 Premier League goals, 26 of which came from his left foot, underlining the lethal efficiency of that trademark strike. While his shot conversion rate of 22% was not the highest in the division, his willingness to attempt 3.4 shots per game meant defenders were constantly under pressure.

This relentless attacking play was matched by his contribution off the ball. Salah recovered possession 2.7 times per game, a reminder that under Slot, even star forwards are expected to graft for the team.

Slot’s Influence and the Next Chapter

What made the season so remarkable was how seamlessly Salah adapted to Arne Slot’s methods. The Dutchman instilled a more fluid attacking structure, but also demanded greater intensity without possession. Salah responded by producing one of the most complete campaigns of his career.

Liverpool’s challenge now is to build on that platform. Slot’s first season brought not only the title but also a reaffirmation that Anfield remains the home of world-class players willing to work for one another. With Salah still producing at such a high level, Liverpool look well placed to extend their dominance in English football.
