Mo Salah surpasses Henry, Aguero, Drogba, after leading Liverpool to another Premier League title
Salah has made history as the Premier League's top foreign scorer
He continued, "It helped that Man City had a difficult spell, which they hadn't had in five years. That helped us a bit as well. When the season started, every one would have been happy if we finished in the top four. But that wasn't fair for our players, who are much better than that."
"It is difficult to put into words. The scenes here and before the game tells you more than I can describe. [The fans being here] is what makes it special. Three or four years ago they won the league. It was an amazing accomplishment, but the fans weren't there. So you can feel how important it was for them to be here. And the boys did an outstanding job today, including our fans," he added.
