Mohamed Salah stats: the Egyptian King who rewrote Anfield’s record books

Liverpool have had goalscorers before, but they have rarely had a phenomenon. The Mohamed Salah stats read like a rewrite of the Anfield record books: 255 goals and 119 assists in all competitions, two league titles and a Champions League, and now an entire nation leaning on him as Egypt return to the World Cup 2026. Here are the numbers behind the Egyptian King. For the bigger picture, see our World Cup 2026 hub.

Mohamed Salah stats: the record of an Anfield great

From Roma to almost a decade of Anfield superstardom, Salah has been a goal machine. His record reads:

Club figures are all-competition career totals.

Third on Liverpool’s all-time list, and climbing

Salah’s Liverpool record is historic: 255 goals and 119 assists in all competitions, putting him third on the club’s all-time scoring list and among the most productive players in its history. He set a Premier League record with 32 goals in a single 38-game season in 2017-18, is a four-time Premier League Golden Boot winner, and is a three-time PFA Players’ Player of the Year. He also has the most combined goals and assists in Premier League history.

The forward who refused to fade

Even deep into his Liverpool career he has refused to slow down. In 2024-25 he was the league’s standout performer, scoring 29 goals and laying on 18 assists to drag Liverpool to the title, a 47-involvement season that matched the single-campaign record. His longevity at the very top, season after season, is a huge part of what makes his numbers so staggering.

The weight of a nation on his shoulders

Salah is Egypt’s all-time talisman with 67 goals in 117 caps, and his goals fired them back to the World Cup after he broke the all-time record for goals scored in African World Cup qualifying. A two-time African Footballer of the Year, he carries the hopes of a nation that has only rarely reached this stage.

Mohamed Salah at the World Cup 2026

Egypt returned to the World Cup for only the fourth time and leaned on Salah throughout their three Group G matches, with Belgium and Kevin De Bruyne among the opponents. Here is how the Egyptian King performed game by game.

• Belgium 1-1 Egypt (group stage, June 15): started and played 76 minutes, setting up Egypt’s goal with one assist and passing at 94.4% accuracy as Egypt held a group favorite.
• New Zealand 1-3 Egypt (group stage, June 22): started and played 85 minutes in Egypt’s biggest win of the group, scoring on 67 minutes and adding an assist, with 78.8% pass accuracy.
• Egypt 1-1 IR Iran (group stage, June 27): started and played 57 minutes in a draw, registering no goal or assist and completing 69.6% of his passes.
• Australia 1-1 Egypt (Round of 32, July 3): Started and went the full 120 minutes as the tie headed to extra time, taking two shots and completing three dribbles without scoring, before Egypt won the penalty shootout 4-2 to reach the last 16.
• Argentina 3-2 Egypt (Round of 16, July 7): Started and played the full 90 minutes, but Egypt let a 2-0 lead slip and were beaten 3-2 by Argentina, ending their run in the last 16.

Across his three group games Salah scored once and provided two assists, and he went the distance again as Egypt edged Australia on penalties in the Round of 32 to reach the last 16, where their run ended in a 3-2 defeat to Argentina after they had led 2-0.

How Mohamed Salah fared in Egypt’s opener

Salah made the difference in Egypt’s eye-catching 1-1 draw with one of the group favorites, Belgium. He provided the assist for Emam Ashour to open the scoring on 19 minutes, one of three chances he created across 76 minutes, and forced a save with his lone shot as Egypt threatened a major upset. He also swung in three corners and found a team-mate in the box four times, dragging Egypt up the pitch before Belgium levelled through an own goal. A point against Kevin De Bruyne’s side, with Salah pulling the strings, was a statement start to the campaign.
