Cliff-like decline! Salah actually shot 0 in the game, and 1 goal in 9 games may lose the European Golden Boot

7:30am, 14 May 2025Football

was at Anfield Stadium, and Liverpool finally drew 2-2 with 10 players in the face of Arsenal with a 2-0 lead. This result is difficult for fans to accept, which also means that the Reds have been unable to defeat the Gunners in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons since the 2022-23 season, and have only achieved 4 draws and 2 losses in 6 games. Fortunately, Liverpool has won the championship ahead of schedule. Even if the fans cannot accept this extremely regrettable game, they will not care too much.

Compared to Liverpool's consecutive defeats against Arsenal, Salah made fans even more worried because Egypt's pharaoh's competitive state was outrageous! In the game against Arsenal tonight, including stoppage time, Salah actually handed over a 0 shot in nearly 100 minutes! The only contribution should be Dias's tackle and scored, and Salah gave Sobosloy a wonderful overhead goal and planned this goal. It should be pointed out that in the last round of Liverpool's away loss to Chelsea, Salah also performed poorly, completing only one shot in the whole game.

In fact, Salah has only scored 1 goal in his last nine club games since March this year, and it was Liverpool's home game against Tottenham. At that time, the Reds led the score, and Egyptian Pharaoh scored the icing goal on the cake, which eventually helped the team win 5-1 and won the Premier League championship four rounds ahead of schedule. It is hard to imagine that Salah suffered such a cliff-like decline. Before March, he scored an astonishing 1.5 goals in a single game. Due to his poor performance in the past 9 games, Salah has now "average" scored 1.12 goals in a single game. With such performance, even if Lewandowski, Rafinia, Yamal, Mbappe and Dembele failed to win the Champions League championship, it would be difficult for Salah to gain an advantage in the Golden Ball Awards selection because he had been out of touch for three months.

As we all know, after Liverpool's Champions League elimination and lost the League Cup, Salah broke the Premier League record and became the target of Reds players and fans. His colleagues are eager to help Egyptian pharaoh become the first player in Premier League history to have 30 goals + 20 assists in a single season. As early as March, Salah had completed 27 goals and 17 assists, but in nearly three months, Egypt's Pharaoh actually only received 1 goal and 1 assist, which turned into 28 goals and 18 assists! What is even more despairing is that Salah only completed one shot in the last two games. If the data continues, it will be difficult for him to become the first 30+20 player in the Premier League. At present, Liverpool only has two rounds of league left, with opponents being Brighton (away) and Crystal Palace (home). Whether Salah can become the number one player in the Premier League depends on his performance in this game.

It is worth mentioning that Salah's European Golden Boot, which was originally very stable, is now becoming increasingly unoptimistic, because Zhekelais scored 7 goals in two games in late April, making him ranked first in the European Golden Boot list, and Salah retreated to second place with a 1-point disadvantage. In addition, after Mbappe scored a hat-trick in the Spanish national derby, he firmly ranked third with 54 points. The French Turtles only need to score another goal to tie Salah. At present, Dzekelish has 1 round of league left, Salah has 2 rounds left, and Mbappe has 3 rounds left, and the European Golden Boot is likely to be produced among their three players this season. If Egyptian Pharaoh continues to be unable to recover his form next, he will miss the European Golden Boot.
