Special Shirt Gifted to Salah in Celebration of 200 Liverpool Goals Milestone
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has received a special shirt to commemorate his remarkable achievement of scoring 200 goals for the club. The 31-year-old joined an elite group of players, becoming only the fifth in Liverpool’s history to reach this milestone with the equalizing goal in Saturday’s comeback victory against Crystal Palace.
On Tuesday at the AXA Training Ground, Salah was captured alongside other first-team squad members, proudly displaying a jersey with the number 200 on the back. Jurgen Klopp, the team’s manager, was quick to praise his number 11 following the dramatic win on Saturday. In a light-hearted remark, Klopp mentioned that the custom jersey had been an extra member of the travelling party, anticipating Salah’s historic achievement.
‘We’ve carried that shirt already for two weeks with us, now finally we could give it to him,’ Klopp said. ‘It was pretty much the best moment to score it, to be 100 percent honest.
‘Incredible number for a super special, super-super special player. I don’t know how often he saved us with a goal he scored in the right moment.’
Salah’s Milestone: A Six-Year Journey from Roma to Liverpool Icon
Mohamed Salah’s achievement of scoring 200 goals for Liverpool marks a significant milestone in his career, just over six years after his £34 million move from Roma to Anfield. The Egyptian forward, who has previously showcased his talents at clubs like Fiorentina, Chelsea, and Basel, has become an integral part of Liverpool’s success.
His crucial strike at Selhurst Park not only secured a comeback win against Crystal Palace but also propelled him into the top ten of the Premier League’s all-time goalscorers list. Salah now shares the 150-goal mark with former Liverpool striker Michael Owen. The forward achieved the double ton in 327 games, prompting speculation about his future climb on the list.
To surpass Liverpool’s all-time top scorer, Ian Rush, Salah would likely need another 327 games, showcasing the enduring challenge and potential historic significance of his remarkable journey with the Reds.
