Mohamed Salah’s emotional tribute to former Liverpool teammates highlighted the special nature of Liverpool’s second Premier League triumph under new manager Arne Slot.
At Anfield on 27 April 2025, Liverpool celebrated their Premier League title with a resounding 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Fans flooded the stands, reveling in the trophy lift that had been denied them in 2020 due to pandemic restrictions. This triumph marks Liverpool’s 20th English top-flight championship, equalling the all-time record set by Manchester United (Liverpool’s Premier League win makes John Henry’s vision a reality).
Mohamed Salah, now 32 years old, has grown into one of the Premier League’s most feared forwards since joining Liverpool in 2017. Born on 15 June 1992 in Nagrig, Egypt, he has combined blistering pace, clinical finishing, and creative flair to forge a legacy at Anfield (Mohamed Salah Liverpool Forward, Profile & Stats | Premier League). This season under Slot represented another chapter in his meteoric rise.
In the 34 league matches completed by the title-clinching day, Salah amassed an astonishing 46 goal contributions, comprising 28 goals and 18 assists. His relentless consistency in both scoring and chance creation proved pivotal to Liverpool’s charge, underpinning a campaign that blended attacking verve with strategic efficiency (234 days on top: the numbers behind Liverpool’s march to title No20, Liverpool’s Premier League win makes John Henry’s vision a reality).
Even as celebrations roared around him, Salah spared a thought for the Anfield icons who propelled the club to its previous Premier League crown in 2020. He acknowledged that while Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino remain dear to Liverpool’s recent history, this group carved its own identity under a new manager, proving the club’s ability to reinvent and succeed.
Arne Slot’s arrival at Liverpool in May 2024 brought a tactical overhaul that empowered Salah to focus predominantly on offensive output. Slot consciously lightened his defensive assignments, trusting his creative instincts and gambler’s mentality in the final third. The results spoke volumes, as Salah flourished with license to unlock defences.
That attacking philosophy fuelled Liverpool to outscore every rival by a comfortable margin. The team registered 80 goals—the highest tally in the top flight—while maintaining a disciplined structure that saw them remain unbeaten in 26 consecutive matches from mid-September to early April (234 days on top: the numbers behind Liverpool’s march to title No20). Slot’s blueprint combined intensity with precision.
Fans treasured this moment more than ever after being denied a proper celebration in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. This title not only restored Anfield’s roar but also brought Liverpool level with Manchester United’s record of 20 league crowns, cementing their status among England’s giants (Liverpool fans finally celebrate Premier League title triumph).
Salah’s willingness to ‘gamble’ offensively under Slot translated into tangible returns. His 18 assists set a personal best for a Premier League campaign and highlighted his evolution from pure finisher to multifaceted playmaker, capable of dictating games and lifting teammates.
As the night’s festivities carried on, Salah’s salute to past heroes and embrace of new milestones underscored why he remains Liverpool’s heartbeat. With a blend of tradition and innovation exemplified by Slot’s leadership, Liverpool have once again proved they can write history on their own terms.
