Liverpool and Tottenham are vying for a Europa League qualification spot this season, which has left their star players, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane, pondering on what could have been. Although Salah has scored 27 goals and Kane has 26, it’s safe to say that neither of them will look back on this campaign with fond memories.
This weekend, the two deadliest marksmen in English football will meet in a game that was once a grand event with honors, status, and Golden Boots at stake. However, Sunday’s Anfield clash between the Premier League underachievers, the seventh-best team against the fifth-best, is far from being such a spectacle.
For Salah and Kane, this season’s disappointment will be felt acutely. They are not players who expect or deserve to play in the Europa League. Currently, Salah’s Liverpool is not even on course for that consolation prize. Since Salah joined Liverpool in 2017, he and Kane have been the two most prolific scorers in the country, netting a combined 358 goals for their clubs, winning three Premier League Golden Boot awards each and neither player has scored fewer than 24 goals in a single campaign. They continue to set records and seem to relish doing so.
Although they are different in their playing styles, Salah and Kane share many similarities, including their relentless attitude, single-mindedness, and importance to their teams. Without them, it is difficult to imagine where Liverpool and Spurs would be this season.
