The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) recently released its list for the Best Player of the World for April 2025, which saw the notable absence of Liverpool's star Mohamed Salah, raising questions among his fans about the reason behind this. While Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal topped the list, followed by his teammate Raphinha in second place, and Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembélé in third, Salah’s absence from the list was a surprise to many, especially given his outstanding performances with Liverpool this season.

Despite not being on the global list, Mohamed Salah continues to deliver excellent performances with Liverpool in the Premier League. The Reds recently achieved a historic milestone by winning the Premier League title for the 20th time in their history after a dominant 5-1 victory over Tottenham at Anfield. This win came with four rounds remaining, further solidifying Liverpool's dominance and their readiness to collect more local and international titles in the upcoming seasons. This victory also carried strong implications about the team's strength and determination to reclaim its prominent position in world football.

On another note, Mohamed Salah set a historic record in the Premier League, raising his total number of goals to 185, making him the top foreign goal scorer in Premier League history. This achievement places Salah in an esteemed position among the game's legends in England, cementing his status as "The Best Foreign Player in Premier League History." The record reflects not only his individual brilliance but also his consistent performance with Liverpool and his significant impact on the team's success in the Premier League.

Liverpool’s Premier League title was not just about winning the competition; it was a result of a dominant run, with the Reds equaling Manchester United's record for the most title wins (20 times), making them one of the most successful clubs in Premier League history. Furthermore, Liverpool has never lost a match at Anfield when leading by two or more goals at halftime, with 117 wins and only two draws, showcasing their remarkable strength at home and the stability they have enjoyed on the field.

Additionally, the season saw several personal achievements that add to Liverpool's legacy. Dutch coach Arne Slot became the first Dutch manager in Premier League history to win the title with his team. Also, Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk became the first Dutch player to win the Premier League title as captain of his team, reflecting his strong leadership qualities. Moreover, Arne Slot became the fifth manager in Premier League history to win the title in his first season, joining the ranks of José Mourinho (2004-05), Carlo Ancelotti (2009-10), Manuel Pellegrini (2013-14), and Antonio Conte (2016-17).

These accomplishments highlight Liverpool's continued dominance on the domestic front, with a squad of players and managers capable of achieving further success. Although Mohamed Salah was absent from the list of the best players in the world for April, his crucial role in Liverpool's success cannot be denied. He remains an essential part of the team’s achievements, whether through his goals or his clear influence in decisive matches.

With all these individual and collective accomplishments, it seems that Liverpool is on its way to regaining dominance in English football. The team remains one of the strongest clubs in the world and continues to deliver high levels of performance across all competitions. Despite Salah's absence from the list, his name remains etched in the minds of football fans worldwide as one of the best players in the history of the game, and his vital role at Liverpool will continue to be a major factor in bringing more titles and accomplishments to the club in the years ahead.

As the countdown begins for the 2025-2026 season, Liverpool fans continue to have high hopes for domestic and international success, hoping the team will win even more titles and return to the top of the global football scene.
