Salah said Liverpool win this season is “way better”
Liverpool captured their 19th league title five years ago in an empty stadium, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This time, however, the entire Reds squad celebrated their Premier League title victory in front of a packed Anfield crowd after a 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Salah said this season’s victory is “100% better” than in 2020 because they were able to celebrate it with the fans.
“It is incredible to win this with our fans,” Salah told Sky Sports after the match.
“This is 100% better than last time [in 2020], especially with the fans. We have a different group now so to show we can do it again is something special.”
Salah talks more about the title win
Salah, 32, scored his 28th league goal of the season to become the highest-scoring foreign player in Premier League history.
The Egypt international reflected on his relationship with coach Arne Slot, saying the Dutchman made the team’s “life easier.”
“He is very honest. The Dutch are quite tough but he made our lives easier. I am glad that we have won it here [at Anfield].
“You can see the numbers. Now I don’t have to defend much. The tactics are quite different. I said ‘as long as you rest me defensively I will provide offensively,’ so I am glad that I did. He listened a lot and you can see the numbers.
“When you play in the Premier League you have to defend but I said that I can gamble and somehow I can make a difference. My number of assists shows that, you can create chances as well.”
Nonetheless, Salah is delighted to have won the league at Anfield.
“Watching the Arsenal-Crystal Palace game I didn’t want to win it then. I wanted an experience we haven’t had before.”
