Mo Salah admits this season has been beyond his wildest dreams. And the Egyptian goal machine insists, even at 32, there is still so much more to come as he eyes more glory and trophies at Anfield.
Salah had already won trophies galore during his glittering career with Liverpool when he formed a lethal strike partnership with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino under Jurgen Klopp.
But Salah, on the brink of breaking the Premier League record for assists and goals in a single season, admits he has enjoyed being Liverpool’s main man and also proving he can be just as prolific under a new manager in Arne Slot.
Salah, crowned the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year, said: “In my opinion, it could be the biggest year. When we won the other trophies I wasn’t involved like I have been now.
“I had my numbers before - and I don’t want to sound arrogant - but they were the highest in the team but this one was so special because the numbers were really, really high for anyone in the Premier League.

“That’s why this one is always going to be special. The Premier League, coming back from holiday and all I thought about was winning the Premier League with the club and to help make the club win the Premier League.

“I think I had the conversation with the manager - and I was very honest with him - I told him: ‘With me, you are going to win the Premier League but I have to feel really comfortable with the way we play.’
“He was very honest with me, we had a few honest conversations and he said to me: ‘OK, I will get the best out of you and I will put you in a situation where you feel comfortable but I need you to provide numbers.’

“I did that so well and, in the end, we won the Premier League and that’s why it’s so special because you come in with that ambition with a new manager and just want to win it, you want to make it happen.
“But I’ll be honest with you and I didn’t even dream to have this great, great season, scoring every game, assisting every game and breaking all the records. It’s incredible. It has been my best moment at the club."
Salah admits that he was desperate to win the title because he knows what it meant to the people of Liverpool. He also spoke to teammates Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
“I know how much it means to the city and also it’s a new era, if we can say that,” said Salah. “I wanted to prove that I am still doing it now with a different coach, with different players and I wanted to show that I am still able to do it.

“I had a couple of conversations with Virgil and with Robbo and Ali, they know how much it means to me. Trent as well. I showed everybody I could do without any other player or manager in the past, I wanted to show it to myself and doing that for myself means a lot.”
Salah also says he knew that Slot was going to be special - from the first days of working with the Liverpool boss in pre-season. He added: “I didn’t know from the beginning, but after a few games I started to feel the manager’s philosophy and see how smart he is, how hard he works and how hard you work and how much he wanted it. I started to realise that.
“He worked very hard in pre-season, we were missing a few players in the start of training and I was the only one from the senior group back training early and the young players were there but you see how smart he is, into details as well. I thought then: ‘this could be a special season.’
“The manager is into detail, he speaks about everything, virtually everything and, for myself, I feel very fit and ready to play. It’s so special, I have a good relationship with the manager and I am very respectful towards him and his staff because we all work really hard.
“At the beginning we had that conversation, he asked me for stuff he wanted me to do and I asked him and put me in the positions and situations where I can really provide numbers and our relationship is very good and it’s working well.
“He has improved me, absolutely. I’ve always believed there’s always room to improve and I think he did it very well and you see the numbers this year and I feel very happy about it.”
