“Or do you just want to say 'I had an unbelievable season'? That's what goes through my head. If I get any distractions, I just remind myself that I want to look back and say I had an unbelievable season.”
Another cup
Salah said he hopes to win another title during his time with Liverpool, who drew 2-2 with Manchester United yesterday, with the 32-year-old scoring one of the goals from a penalty kick.

And the Premier League 2019/20.
