Salah: I Achieved My Dream by Winning Both UCL, PL

Pride of Egypt Mohamed Salah has reflected on winning both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League titles with Liverpool in the last two years.

The Reds won the Premier League after finishing this season with 99 points to lift their first-ever league title after 30 years, out lasting their arch rivals Manchester City by a comfortable margin.

They also claimed the UEFA Champions League title after defeating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the final a year ago.

Speaking about winning the aforementioned titles, Salah revealed that he doesn’t prefer winning one over the other while also expressing delight over acquiring both.

“Always when people asked me what you prefer, Premier League or Champions League? I always say both – thankfully we’ve got both. That’s great,” Salah told Liverpool’s official website.

“It [winning the league this season] feels great… It’s great, it’s unbelievable. Since I came here I said I wanted to win the Premier League with this club."

“What I’m seeing from the fans and the people here is unbelievable, I’m really happy and enjoying it,” he added.

Despite winning the UEFA Champions League last year, Liverpool were on the brink of winning the Premier League title, however, they finished the league campaign just one point behind rivals Manchester City.

Salah discussed the 2018/19 season, saying: “OK, first of all, it’s great to win the Champions League because it’s still the Champions League – wow, what an achievement for the team!

“Then, losing the Premier League with one point is also kind of disappointing, but if you see how many points we got in the season, and how we played, we were also proud of ourselves," the Egyptian ace said.

“But it’s kind of disappointing because we lost in the end. But the good thing is that we fought back and we won it.”

The 28-year-old also went on to talk about what his side learned from their defeat in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid and how it helped Liverpool overcome Tottenham 12 months later.

“It gave us more confidence,” Salah explained. “Imagine we lost the Champions League for the second time, the second year in a row and lost the Premier League with one point difference… you’re going to be disappointed. But it gave us more confidence.”
