Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has, on Sunday, secured for himself a fresh piece of individual silverware.
It has, all told, of course proven something of a week to forget for all associated with Liverpool.
This comes with Jurgen Klopp’s troops, fresh off seeing their Premier League title dreams shattered by Manchester City at the last, having made the trip to Paris for a Champions League finale showdown with Real Madrid on Saturday night.
When all was said and done, however, the Reds came up short once more, en route to an eventual 1-0 defeat.
And the aforementioned Salah, for his part, endured a more frustrating 90 minutes than perhaps any other, held at bay time and time again by the brilliance of Real no.1 Thibaut Courtois.

The Egyptian’s prize-clinching effort came early in the campaign, when, during a title showdown with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at Anfield, Salah ran the Sky Blues’ backline ragged, before picking out the far corner courtesy of a pinpoint right-footed strike:
