Mohamed Salah shares that the Liverpool players “laughed” about the touchline clash between Jurgen Klopp and himself, prior to his standout performance in the match against West Ham.

WHAT HAPPENED?
During West Ham’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool at London Stadium back in April, winger Salah exchanged heated words with then-manager Klopp on the touchline. Nearly eight months on from that, the Reds returned to the same ground to thump the Hammers 5-0 in a game Salah starred in. Incidentally, the Egyptian international revealed Virgil van Dijk reminded him of the Klopp incident, something they “had a laugh about” in the dressing room.

WHAT MOHAMED SALAH SAID
He told Sky Sports: “It was a funny thing because before the game, the guys in the dressing room they said ‘Remember what happened last year?’. Virgil (van Dijk) started it. We had a laugh about it. It was not a nice moment here last year but I’m glad this one was better.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE
As 2024 draws to a close, Liverpool are in a fantastic position as a quadruple is once again on the cards. They are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League, are unbeaten in the Champions League, are in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and start their FA Cup campaign next month. And Salah is arguably the best player in the world at present under now-Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

WHAT NEXT?
Salah’s high-flying Liverpool side kickstart 2025 with a home clash against struggling Manchester United in the Premier League on January 5.
