The short film recounts the forward’s journey from aspiring footballer in his home country of Egypt to the legendary status he has carved out at Liverpool.
Now a two-time Premier League champion having spearheaded the Reds’ surge to the title in 2024-25 with 28 goals and 18 assists so far, a multitude of records have been broken by him since arriving at Anfield eight years ago.
Such success did not come easily to Salah, though.
In fact, his first experience of English football after joining Chelsea in January 2014 posed the biggest questions of his career, he explains.
“I remember the first game I played, I think it was Newcastle and I was attacking the [flank] and felt, boom [a strong tackle],” says Salah. “I felt like, ‘Oh, how am I going to survive here?’
“So the first thing I learned was, OK, now I need to be physically strong, I need to go to the gym more, I need to do recovery more and adapt to the game.”
Salah’s path would take him away from the Premier League, with spells at Fiorentina and AS Roma in Serie A replenishing his confidence and setting him up for new, stratospheric levels in Liverpool colours.
“I still also say this is the most important period of my life, when I went to Chelsea,” he states. “Because when I started to struggle there I was like, ‘OK, so now what? Are you going to be an average player or do you want to be a really good player?
“It was a key point for me, I started to read a lot and watching a lot of videos on YouTube to help me also change how I behave, how my mentality [is] and everything.”
To say it worked would be a major understatement.
He has totalled 244 goals in all competitions for the Reds to date, with 183 of those being netted in the Premier League – more than any other player has tallied at the club.
As well as the pair of top-flight titles, Salah has claimed the division’s Golden Boot three times and the Playmaker award once. And he is on course to win both of those accolades again later this month.
The Egyptian is also just three goals away from outright fourth place on the list of top scorers in the competition since its inception in 1992.
“It’s hard to explain how it feels to play alongside him. It’s unbelievable,” says teammate Dominik Szoboszlai during the film. “He doesn’t follow the records, the records follow him – because every week he has set another record.”
