It had to be the Egyptian King. Since joining the Reds, Mo has thrived in these big games, he has 11 goal involvements in the 14 games he has faced City.

He is often the man to open the scoring for Liverpool against City. Another one of the greatest Liverpool players ever and alongside Stevie G, has genuine claims to be THE greatest. 

Highlight Moment:

Just weeks before Halloween in 2022, there was a frightening proposition for Man City defenders, come up against Mo Salah, who at that point was in some of the best form of his life.

With the game level at 1-1 going into the final quarter of an hour of the game, Salah received the ball on the corner of Man City’s box. Joao Cancelo dived in recklessly, so Mo rolled him with ease.

Then Bernardo Silva put in a lacklustre challenge, which Salah ball rolled his way past. When running into the box he faced up against Laporte, who he turned inside out, and after all this, on his weaker right foot, Salah smashed the ball into the far corner of Ederson’s net.
