“I was here like four years ago and a lot of people said he couldn’t [have] success, that I cannot play in the Premier League, [that] it was very difficult for him,” Salah said.

“So it was always in my mind to come back. From the first day I left Chelsea, it was always in my mind to make them wrong.

“I made them wrong.”

Liverpool are close to sealing a top-four finish in the Premier League ahead of hosting Brighton and Hove Albion on the final day on Sunday.
