The season 2017-18 was a roller-coaster ride for Liverpool FC that ended with a runner's up trophy in the Champions League.
The Reds will always remember the season for one person - Mohammed Salah - who was brilliant throughout but his season of 44 goals ended in the most ruthless manner.
In the Champions League final, a Sergio Ramos tackle ended Salah and Liverpool's chance of having their hands on the coveted trophy. As a teary-eyed Salah was taken off the field, Real Madrid marched towards a historic 13th European Cup triumph.
The Egyptian King suffered the after-effects of his shoulder injury at the start of the 2018-19 season and all Liverpool and Juergen Klopp did was showed patience with the player, who is arguably their best at the moment.
It took a while but Salah finally has found the form which his side had been desperately waiting for. Salah will go into the Boxing Day clash against Newcastle United in the Premier League with 11 goals to his name in the English league so far. And, overall across the competitions, Salah has netted 14 times in total so far.
"He is young enough to involve a lot more things in his game. It's not just speed, it's not just finishing, it's keeping the ball," Klopp told reporters at a news conference ahead of Newcastle United's Boxing Day visit to Anfield.
"But you need your body for that and that was the only problem with Mo at the beginning of the season. Part of his body was still not perfect. If you work in an office and your shoulder is not 100 per cent, it's okay. If you are a professional football player, it just takes 10-15 per cent away," the German added.
"He's still a world-class player but we knew we had to wait until the moment when everything was fine again," Klopp added.
Moreover, Klopp has slightly tweaked Salah's playing position this season. The 26-year-old has often been stationed in a central attacking position instead of his usual position in the ring wing.
"It's good. He had to adapt a bit to a slightly different position. Not that different, but slightly. We need his link-up play. He still has that desire and the speed in the first few yards, which is impressive. And of course, he is a very important part of our finishing situations," the former Borussia Dortmund coach said.
