LONDON (Reuters) – Liverpool will play a crucial match at Anfield on Tuesday night hoping to have the last chance to qualify for the final round of the Champions League.
Liverpool, winner of the title five times earlier, can not substitute for Naples to qualify for the series, but the draw will be enough for Naples. (See qualification scenarios).
Al-Ridds supporters base their hopes on the brilliant star Mohammed Salah in today's game. The Egyptian pharaoh leads the team with 12 goals this season and five other goals.
Salah has several reasons to shine the night of the decision:
– Moral stimulation:
Salah entered the game with a captivating 3-goal hat-trick against Bournemouth and led Liverpool to the English Premier League title after the fall of Manchester City.
The 26-year-old returned to normal with 10 goals and became Premiership's top scorer. He became Liverpool's fastest player with 40 goals.
– Improve his record:
Salah is looking to return to the Champions League after a four-game losing streak, scoring just two goals against Red Star and improving his poor record against Napoli.
Salah has faced Napoli 6 times during his career, lost three times, drew and won twice, scoring only one goal for the Italian team (2016-17) in Rome.
– avoid exclusion:
If Liverpool do not win a goal or two goals, the Reds will participate in the tournament that reached their last game last season. So it will be a big boost for Salah.
He hopes to react to critics this season led by Liverpool to catch up with the finalists in the Champions League and avoid the scenario of an untimely exit from the oldest competition in Europe.
– Pursuit Rush:
A new record for Salah to play against Napoli, who beats the number of Reds legend Ian Rush, who scored 14 goals for his team in all European competitions, becoming the club's second-leading scorer.
Until now, Salah has scored 13 goals in European competitions with Liverpool, with 11 goals last season (2017-18) and two goals this season. Striker Steven Gerrard scored 30 goals.
– Approaching Gerrard:
Gerrard is Liverpool's most important Champions League player at Anfield, the Riddles stronghold with 14 goals, for the 1998-65 season.
Salah has scored eight goals in eight Liverpool league games at Anfield since last season and is looking to get closer to the Reds legend to continue writing history in English.
