Revealing stats from Liverpool superstar's 'invisible' performance in Champions League against PSG

WHAT HAPPENED?

Salah has remained a talismanic presence for the Reds throughout the 2024-25 campaign, helping to keep them in contention for major honours in multiple competitions. In another productive season on Merseyside, he has registered 30 goals and 22 assists.

THE BIG PICTURE

However, the 32-year-old barely featured as Liverpool completed a catch-and-grab job in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash. Despite having just two shots, compared to PSG’s 27, and seeing just 30 per cent of the ball, Harvey Elliott, who replaced Salah in the 86th minute, secured a dramatic 1-0 win for the Reds on French soil.

DID YOU KNOW?

Salah is usually their key man when it comes to attacking inspiration, but he had a night to forget in Paris. Salah’s numbers on the day saw him fail to score or assist, have no shots (meaning none on target), create zero chances, make no key passes, dribbles or accurate crosses, while also failing to win duels or a single free-kick.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR MOHAMED SALAH?

Salah's anonymous performance mattered little at the final whistle, with the Premier League leaders taking another positive step towards ultimate European glory. He will believe a more significant contribution can be made when PSG visit Anfield on March 11.
