Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has congratulated his forward Mo Salah for starring all along the season to help the Reds grab points as they qualify for the next UEFA Champions league group stages.
The Egyptian scored 31 goals and provided 6 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions this season with the Reds.
He missed out on the Premier League Golden Boot as he failed to score on the last game and finished with 22 goals while Tottenham’s talisman Harry Kane won it with 23.

“However, Klopp is really satisfied with Salah’s season and did not hide it while talking about Liverpool’s end of season”, Klopp told Liverpool’s official website.
“I am not surprised at all, to be honest. I am happy about the fact because it’s easy to see where we would be without Mo’s goals.
“But it’s for all the other teams the same, without the goals their top scorers or whatever score – the guys with the biggest numbers – it would all look differently, of course.
“We know the team helps him a lot, but Mo carries a lot as well, I have to say. That’s clear. It’s his desire, it’s his professionalism, it’s his greed as well which helps us completely.
“And this year is one of his best years without having the best number of all he had. It’s a really top year for him, because for a striker in a team that is not flying constantly, scoring these numbers is absolutely exceptional. That’s what makes him really special”, the German tactician added about Mo Salah.
