In the Champions League on Wednesday, October 2, Liverpool defeated Bologna 2-0 at Anfield.

For the Reds, all three points came from goals in either half from Alexis MacAllister and Mohamed Salah.

It was a tough game, and Bologna had some excellent opportunities. Despite some outstanding saves from Alisson, Liverpool ultimately prevailed in this tournament for the second time in as many games played under the new format.

Salah has surpassed Didier Drogba to become the record goalscorer for any African in the Champions League, according to The Daily Mail (page 72). They have praised him as “magic” and “brilliant.”

The Egyptian was declared the man of the match by the publication, who rated him an impressive 8.5 out of 10. The game was decided by Salah’s goal and assist, despite Ryan Gravenberch’s equally impressive performance.

“Player of the game even before he scored.” Salah’s ability to flip left-back Miranda inside out will give him nightmares, according to The Daily Mail.

Should Liverpool give Mo Salah a new contract?

Salah is arguably one of the greatest ever player to have graced the green blades of Anfield. He has expressed his desire to become one of the greats of the club, and he is showing no signs of ageing.

The 32-year-old has scored six goals and provided five assists in all competitions, and he is still winning games for the Reds.

Salah’s Liverpool contract expires at the end of the current campaign, and the Reds have not yet made up their minds about extending it. Offering him a short-term contract makes sense because it would be a tragedy to lose a player of his ability for nothing.

He should be given the opportunity to sign a new contract based only on his performance. In his debut season at the club, Arne Slot has won eight games out of nine in all competitions, which is a fantastic accomplishment.
