Liverpool icon hoping to bow out on winning note after current campaign ends

After returning from injury, the Egyptian hasn't appeared to be his typical outstanding self, but at Goodison Park, his team needs him to perform at his peak.

It was shocking to watch Jurgen Klopp's final continental campaign finish with a whimper because some of the most unforgettable moments of his incredible tenure as Liverpool manager occurred in European competition. It felt off, to put it simply. The story was completely incorrect. Whatever the outcome, a thrilling match in Dublin would have been a far more suitable conclusion than a meek last-eight elimination in Bergamo.

Mohamed Salah received a lot of flak for his part in Liverpool's mild UEFA Europa League exit. Seven minutes during the return leg of Liverpool's quarterfinal match against Atalanta, the Egyptian had handed the Reds the lead. However, he had also squandered a fantastic opportunity to really give the tie new life at Anfield, which the Italians seemed to have killed off. 

Everyone saw Salah as a perfect representation of the listless Liverpool of the past few weeks, but Klopp naturally sprang into the defence for the player who has come to the Reds' aid numerous times in previous years.

The winger spoke to the media and he said, “I’m not particularly concerned. That’s what strikers do. We have to go through it, he has to go through it. He is one of the most experienced players in the squad. It’s not that Mo didn’t miss chances before in his life, that’s part of the game… I won’t make a big story of it.”

Liverpool still in the race to win Premier League title

Liverpool are in an extremely strange situation. It would be a huge disappointment if they didn't win the English Premier League title because they weren't anticipated to contend for it at the start of the season. Naturally, the primary cause is Klopp's impending departure. 

Ever since the adored Liverpool manager made the unexpected decision to resign at the end of the current campaign, supporters have been wondering if the German's incredible run will finish on a positive note.
