If Liverpool goes to the title of Champion of England since the Reds have 12 points ahead of Arsenal with nine matches still to play, it is largely thanks to the talent of Mohamed Salah, author of 27 goals and 17 assists this season in the Premier League. The Egyptian left -hander has continued to be decisive with his team during the first part of the season, but his current state of form is absolutely abyssal. His 2025 golden ball dreams clearly left for smoke in the space of a few days.
At the same time transparent, muzzled by Nuno Mendes or very clumsy against PSG, at the Parc des Princes as in Anfield on Tuesday, during the elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League, “Mo” Salah did not make up for Sunday during the English League Cup final against Newcastle, in Wembley. The 32 -year -old was ghostly in the face of the Magpies, not finding a way to strike on his 23 balloons affected. He also did not give the slightest key to one of his teammates to the final whistle who made Newcastle (1-2) and his delirious supporters in the London enclosure.
Isak Eclipse Salah
The NUFC found the fault just before half-time on a goal from the head of the giant Dan Burn (45th). The fragility of Caoimhin Kelleher, the lining of Alisson Becker tenured in Carabao Cup by Arne Slot, did not help his team. Alexander Isak thus doubled the return of the locker room (52nd), a few moments after being denied a goal for offside (51st). The Swedish crack, author of 22 goals in all competitions, is probably the most impressive PL player this season … The Liverpuldians only revived the suspense in the 94th minute by Federico Chiesa, failing to obtain a final opportunity to snatch an extension.
The success of Newcastle is historic for several titles. The club in northern England has finally won a trophy while its last two coronations date back to 1955 with a FA Cup – 70 years ago! – and in 1969 with a cup of fair cities (the ancestor of the Europa League). Another important data: Eddie Howe becomes the first English coach to win a major title in England since Harry Redknapp in 2008 and the FA Cup victory of Portsmouth.
