Liverpool continued their fine run in the ongoing Champions League as they defeated Lille in their latest UCL fixture. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 34th minute while Jonathan David restored parity for Lille. Harvey Elliott scored in the 67th minute to propel Liverpool back in the driver’s seat. With the win, Mohamed Salah became the first player in the club’s history to score 50 goals in Europe.
The latest strike against Lille was his 22nd of the season. Witnessing such mesmerizing performance from the Egyptian, Liverpool’s boss, Arne Slot was full of praise for his best marksman. The Liverpool boss termed it special as the club will need only a point at PSV Eindhoven to finish at the top of the 32-team table.
Special, that is the word to describe Mo’s performance at this club. The best or maybe there are even better words to use, but he has been outstanding at this club for so many years, so still he is. Today it was a great goal, when Mo goes on a one vs. one there is a serious chance he will score.
Arne Slot said on the press-conference
Arne Slot emphasized that the Salah’s goal gives a peek into why Liverpool are dominating in the Champions League and the English Premier League. They sit at the top of the table, and remains the favorite to win the EPL this season. If they can sustain the form, the club can potentially win the UCL as well this season.
It has so far been a joyride for Liverpool as Lille’s striker David’s equalizer ended one of the dream sequences. Until the goal, Liverpool didn’t concede in Europe for the last nine hour and 59 minutes which they played. It was the first goal conceded by Liverpool ever since Christian Pulisic netted one for AC Milan in the opening game of the League.
Fabrizio Romano reveals the current status between Rayan Cherki and Liverpool
As per the latest reports, Liverpool has been monitoring the progress of Rayan Cherki. The Lyon striker, Cherki, has slammed home three goals from the 14 games that he has played in the ongoing season. The long-term future of Cherki no longer remains with the French club.
Despite the rumors, as stated by GIVEMESPORT, Fabrizio Romano has exclusively denied of any active contact between the two parties. The journalist reported that the player has a release clause, or rather a gentleman’s agreement for €22.5 million. However, there is no concrete detail available as to where Cherki could end up at.
This sort of clause is also valid in the summer, but also now, so it’s a big opportunity for many clubs. Cherki received many calls from Germany, from England, from Italy – many agents who wanted to understand the situation around him. But my information is that at the moment, there is still nothing really close but there could be movement.
Fabrizio Romano told GIVEMESPORT
Liverpool didn’t make too many moves in the summer window either as they only roped in Federico Chiesa. However, the Italian forward hasn’t found much playing time under Arne Slot. With Rayan Cherki showing his class at Lyon, it is expected that he might make hay with a move abroad, especially one to Liverpool. However, other unknown clubs are also in the running.
