Liverpool has reached another victory in Anfield after beating Bologna 2-0 in the second Champions League match. With this win, the Reds are placed sixth at the moment in the new competition table format.
The early lead came from the goal of Alexis Mac Allister who scored in the eleventh minute of the match with a simple touch after an amazing assist from Mo Salah. As the match continued, Liverpool’s ambition for another goal came later in the 75th minute from the Egyptian King who scored a brilliant solo goal to finish the Serie A side.
Liverpool’s run in the Champions League until now has been a perfect one, reaching two wins against two Italian teams. The first win was against AC Milan in San Siro, in which the Arne Slot’s team won 3-1.
With the goal he scored against Bologna, Mohamed Salah has made history, becoming the top African goal scorer in the Champions League, surpassing the legendary Chelsea former striker Didier Drogba, who now is listed second after Mo Salah with only one goal less.
Mo Salah even received the ‘Player of the Match’ award after that match and this shows that the player wants to win every trophy with Liverpool after he confirmed that this is his last season with the Reds.
The Egyptian forward is having a fantastic start to the season, scoring four goals and assisting four in the Premier League. His impact on Arne Slot’s tactics is key to the team’s success since the start of the 24/25 season.
There are rumors that Salah could be leaving the club in the summer and join the interested clubs from the Saudi Pro League. As reported, his contract with the Saudi sides could be the biggest one football has ever seen, surpassing the Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who is part of Al-Nassr.
Next for Liverpool is the match against Crystal Palace which will be played on Saturday at Selhurst Park Stadium. The Reds reached the top of the table in the weekend after the 2-1 win against Wolves and now they are first with 15 points in six matches, with Manchester City and Arsenal behind them with only one point less.
Receiving three points away from home in the last match before the international break would be huge for Arne Slot so he can prepare the team for the tough fixtures that await the squad after the international duty ends.
Liverpool will play Chelsea on 20 October when the boys are back from their national team and the outcome of this match will show if the Reds are well prepared for the whole challenges that the season will bring to them.
