Roma H
Salah's best performance ever in his career. Roma simply didn't know how to stop him. Scored a screamer, chipped one over the keeper on the counter, and got 2 brilliant assists all in 75 minutes.
Unstoppable, arguably the best semifinal performance of the decade

Bayern A
Liverpool needed to win at Bayern Munich, who had scored 13 goals in their last 3 games. While Mane was the main star, Salah had a solid performance, providing the best assist of his career and putting another chance on a plate.

Tottenham CL final
Salah converted the penalty in the Champions League final.
Considering top players like Griezmann Robben and Ronaldo have missed crucial penalties in Champions League finals, it certainly was impressive to score.

Salzburg H
Not talked about enough. Salah scored the 3rd and 4th goals with two clinical finishes in a 4-3 win.
Had he not scored these goals and other future results stayed the same, Liverpool would get
knocked out in group stages.

Atletico H
Liverpool needed to win by 2 goals and Salah stepped up, easily being the best forward on the pitch.
He played deeper then usual, creating chances and showing great involvement. Unlucky not to score what
would be the greatest goal of his life https://streamable.com/carrtm

Salah ended the 17/18 Cl campaign with the most non penalty g/a and the most knockout g/a after firmino. Comparing his knockout numbers to Ronaldo (right):
3.6 1.4 Key Passes per90
1.2 0.4 Big Chances Created per90
1.0 0.5 Nonpenalty goals per90
0.0 0.7 Big Chances Missed per90
3.6 1.4 Key Passes per90

1.0 0.5 Nonpenalty goals per90
0.0 0.7 Big Chances Missed per90
Those were better numbers then what Messi averaged in La Liga. All in the toughest games of the season.
He currently has the 2nd most nonpenalty g/a (28) in the Champions League since he joined Liverpool behind Messi (30). He has the most knockout g/a as well.

In the league, Salah's equally impressive.
In 17/18 against top 4 contenders Tottenham, Salah got a goal to go ahead and completed 5/6 dribbles.
It was his ridiculous goal in stoppage time to go ahead 2-1 that made this performance iconic though.
One of his best goals ever

Man City were at the time unbeaten when coming to Anfield.
Salah was electric, scoring a 40 yard screamer and winning the ball back to set up Mane for another goal. Liverpool broke City's unbeaten run winning 4-3

In 18/19 Salah was on a goal drought but was able to make the difference when it mattered. He created a big chance with an excellent cross, but won Liverpool the match in the 80th min with a goal from his own half. This kept Liverpool 1 point from City https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1345762343037378561?s=20
The next game he was able to step up in a huge game against 3rd place Chelsea, with creating 4 chances and scoring the best goal of his life from outside the box. One of his biggest iconic moments ever. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1239950898748706816?s=20
He won Liverpool the match early in the season in 19/20 against Arsenal, converting a penalty and scoring a brilliant goal by spinning the defender. A key game in Liverpool's Premier League win. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1282963690283835392?s=20
He scored the 2nd goal in a 2-1 win against Man City, which was clearly the biggest game of the season. He was a goal threat the whole game almost scoring from outside the box and looked sharp on the ball as well.
Underrated performance. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1278237152418160641?s=20

He broke his curse against United at Anfield with a solid performance. While he created 3 chances and one big chance, it was his goal from a brilliant run from his own box to settle the match that made this an iconic game. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1350768076833304576?s=20
At leeds on the first gameweek, Salah was quite literally the only player to do anything to win. He looked like Messi the whole game, with a ridiculous finish on a half volley, 5 key passes, and 7 dribbles.
Singlehandedly won the team the match 4-3 with a hattrick.

Salah broke his curse at Old Trafford in the FA cup against a full strength United side. He scored the team's two goals from clinical finishes and looked threatening the whole game. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough as the team lost 3-2.
