For much of his Liverpool career, if the goals dried up, he didn't just fade - he became a heavy, ornamental passenger. For a man with his goals tally and trophy cabinet, Salah's record in the games that actually define legacies is oddly hollow.He featured in three Champions League finals.

In 2018, he was forced off; in 2019, he scored an early penalty and then spent the rest of the game as a peripheral bystander; in 2022, he was thwarted by Thibaut Courtois' brilliance, but never truly felt like he was bending the game to his will.Similarly, the list of blanks across domestic and international finals - FA Cups, League Cups, Super Cups, Club World Cups and AFCON heartbreaks - has piled up like unopened bills, suggesting a player who may have been a master of the season's long, flat stretches but who frequently went missing exactly when he was truly needed.Liverpool were a top-two powerhouse for the vast majority of his tenure, a team built specifically to feed his hunger. But with Salah, it always felt like the individual mattered slightly more than the collective.Make no mistake, Salah leaves Liverpool as a Premier League legend - and deservedly so.
