Mohamed Salah outperforms Barcelona trio ahead of Liverpool vs Manchester City clash
The figures showed Mohamed Salah’s superiority in terms of goal contributions, as his tally with Liverpool reached 367 goal contributions, between scoring and assisting goals, exceeding the total contributions of Barcelona’s trio combined, which amounted to 3299 goal contributions between scoring and assisting.
This numerical superiority reflects the great value that Mohamed Salah represents within the ranks of the Reds, and his decisive role in making a difference, especially in big matches, which strengthens the hopes of Liverpool fans to achieve a positive result against the defending champion Manchester City in one of the strongest matches of the season
Manchester City are Mohamed Salah's favorite victim
Liverpool enters the match pinning its hopes on its star player Mohamed Salah, who is accustomed to appearing as a hero in major matches, especially against City. It is worth noting that Mohamed Salah's statistics in his previous encounters with the Sky Blues reflect a long and open struggle, as he played 24 matches, achieving victory in 9 of them, compared to 6 draws and 9 losses, while he scored 13 goals and made 8 other goals, bringing the number of goal contributions to 21 goals.
On the other hand, Manchester City arrive at Anfield in second place with 47 points, aiming to return to the top after losing the title last season. However, the Sky Blues are suffering from a clear dip in form, having managed only one win in their last six matches, which only adds to the importance of this encounter.
Despite these setbacks, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola continues to express his confidence in his team's ability to bounce back, stressing that the performance is still good and that the title race is not yet decided, given the large number of rounds remaining.
In contrast, Liverpool enters the match with a different spirit, driven by a strong desire to avenge the heavy 3-0 defeat in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium, in addition to taking advantage of the home ground and crowd factors, especially after their big 4-1 win over Newcastle in the last round.
Liverpool are in sixth place with 39 points, and with them out of the title race, their main objective this season is to break into the top four and secure a Champions League spot, in order to salvage a season that has not met the expectations of their fans despite the strong reinforcements before it began.
