Rise of a Football God

'I've lost the premier league title already…'

'I'm yet to win a trophy this season…'

'I won't lose the UEFA champions league too!'

These were the thoughts going through the head of the Egyptian King after he received that opportunistic pass from Darwin Nunez, and it became the motivation that pushed him to create that moment of magic.

In the 74th minute of this game, Liverpool's Egyptian King scored, bringing this game level when Liverpool needed it the most.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLL…!!!" The commentator screamed.

"SALAHHHHHH!"

"SALAHHHHHH…!!!"

"The Egyptian King has struck!"

"The Pharoah of Liverpool has struck!"

"My God, Darwin Nunez is the agent of chaos that Liverpool needed to turn this game around but Salah? Freaking hell, he is the master of chaos!"

"He thrives in chaos!"

"He's proved it again that he can do it again and again!"

"At first, we called it the Mane, Firmino, and Salah, masters of chaos but in recent seasons, it's the Mohamed Salah show!"

"It's the Pharoah's show!"

"The Pharoah is the King in Egypt, now Liverpool's King, what better game for a King to show what he's capable of than the final game of the season?!"

While the commentator raved about him, Salah charged towards the corner flag amid the thunderous roars of the Liverpool fans to celebrate.

As soon as he arrived at the corner flag, he spread his arms in celebration, taking in the adoration of the Liverpool fans.

And then, with pupils dilated in sheer anger and defiant adrenaline, he pumped his fists aggressively. "Come on!!!" He screamed.

"Salah!" "Salah!" "Salah!"

From the Musiala chants at first by the Bayern Munich fans, the Salah chants soon started in Wembley Stadium and that moment was the turning point.

After that goal, everything changed.

After that goal, Mohamed Salah changed.

FWEEEE!

The game restarted but there was a lingering feeling that the game already escaped out of Bayern Munich's grasp, and what followed next proved it.

Mohamed Salah was unleashed after that goal.

74 minutes, 1-1, but he was not satisfied.

'Win!' 'Win!' 'Win!'

Sam was not the only professional football player that had a chant for victory in his head. In truth, all the best players in the world had one.

When the going gets tough, when they needed it the most, they call on it and it was what helps them exceed their limits, creating vintage performances at the highest stage that forever remain engraved in history.

Kylian Mbappe's performance in the late stages of the FIFA World Cup final back in 2022 was a great example and in this moment, Salah channeled the same energy to take this important game by the scruff of the neck.

Alphonso Davies bore the full brunt of an unleashed Salah.

Bzzz! Bzzz!

The Canadian left back was tortured by the Egyptian King for the next few minutes, turned inside out as Salah played at an extraterrestrial level.

He was not the only one though.

His goal woke the whole Liverpool team up, dousing them with endless energy and on the left side of the pitch, Luis Diaz also went ga-ga in attack, dazzling and torturing Guerreiro, the Bayern Munich right back with his lethal dribbles.

While all this happened, Darwin Nunez continued doing what he did best, he continued being an agent of chaos and confusion.

And in that chaos, Liverpool thrived.

Bayern Munich was not idle, they had no intentions of rolling over to their opponents as with Jamal Musiala still balling at an elite level, they also threatened occasionally but Liverpool's defense was also already unlocked in this game.

Virgil Van Dijk became the other Liverpool player to enter the zone state.

Like an indomitable Tiger, he protected the Liverpool defense, turning into a prime Paulo Maldini as he snuffed off any dangerous attack before it could build momentum.

For the final minutes of this game, the towering Dutchman was imperious at the back, protecting his team long enough for the attack to strike!

And they did in the 86th minute of the game.

Salah received an absolutely unreal pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold down the left-hand side, leaving Alphonso Davies chasing shadows again but just as the rapid left back was to recover, Salah played a pass…

…a pass that was even more unreal than Arnold's pass.

He received Arnold's pass with one touch of his right foot, shifted the ball into his superior left foot, and then, he hit it with the outside of his boot.

Bam!

Salah obliterated the Bayern Munich defense with an unreal trivela pass, sending the ball long enough into the path of a rampaging Darwin Nunez.

But the Liverpool striker was double-teamed by Dayot Upamecano and Eric Dier, limiting his influence.

Nunez was just the distraction though; Salah's true target was Luis Diaz.

With all the focus on Nunez, restricting him, the ball rolled ahead of him further to the left where an unmarked Luis Diaz rushed into.

"Wow! Luis Diaz is unmarked!"

"Can he do it?"

"Manuel Neuer is charging out!"

The mere sight of the towering Bayern Munich goalkeeper charging towards you was intimidating, but keeping his cool, the Colombian took one touch of the ball to set himself up and then…

Bam!

He rifled it into the bottom left corner with his right foot.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLL…!!!" Wembley Stadium erupted again.

And just like that, Liverpool completed their comeback as they led this game. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

But a certain Egyptian King was not satisfied yet.

As Bayern Munich recklessly sent players up field, searching for the equalizer, Liverpool was once again pressured but keeping their cool they defended as a team till the 89th minute when the German club was caught out of possession.

It was the imperious Van Dijk who won the ball again, pushing it towards Alexis Mac Allister who already replaced Dominik Szoboszlai in this game at some point as without looking, the Argentine midfielder hit the ball long up field towards the left where a certain Egyptian King lurked.

Salah took the ball in his strides, turned Eric Dier inside out, leaving him on his butt before charging towards goal.

As Manuel Neuer charged out again, he cleverly played a lobbed shot, raising it above the Bayern Munich goalkeeper and into the net.

"My good freaking Jesus!"

"Salah has done it again!"

"He's scored again!"

"That's 2 goals and an assist!"

"It's a Mohamed Salah show! Liverpool have won it late!"

Wembley Stadium erupted as Liverpool fans celebrated wildly, feeling like they would go crazy out of sheer joy and euphoria.

It truly was a Mohamed Salah masterclass.

Bayern Munich tried but they could do nothing tangible. In the end, the UEFA champions league final came to an end with a Liverpool win.

Liverpool won 3-1 over their rivals in Wembley Stadium.
