Goals from Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott gave Liverpool a 2-1 win over Lille and secured progress to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

In a week that he was being compared to Eden Hazard, Mohamed Salah once again underlined his status as Champions League star.

“Hopefully (it’s) not the last one,” said Salah, whose contract expires at the end of the season and has increasingly raised the prospect that this could be his last with the Merseyside club.

Arne Slot and Liverpool are top of both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League as the second half of the season gets into full swing.

If this is Mohamed Salah’s final season at Liverpool, he is going out in style. The Egypt striker scored his 50th European goal for Liverpool and his 22nd in all competitions this season to help Arne Slot’s team secure a place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-1 win against Lille.

French giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly willing to go all the way to sign superstar forward Mohamed Salah from Liverpool in the summer.

Rodrygo is perhaps not yet at Salah's level, but he's close and more importantly, he's almost a decade younger. Liverpool should see the 24-year-old winger as their number one option to replace Salah. With the Reds, Rodrygo could continue to blossom into his prime years and become a core piece for the foreseeable future.
