Mohamed Salah once again stamped his authority on a European night as Liverpool tore Qarabağ apart with a ruthless 6-0 victory, delivering one of their most dominant performances of the campaign.
From the first whistle, Liverpool played with intensity and purpose, pinning the visitors back and moving the ball with pace and precision. The breakthrough arrived in the 15th minute when Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring, setting the tone for what would become a long and punishing evening for Qarabağ.
Florian Wirtz doubled the advantage six minutes later, and by the time Salah got his chance just after the break, the outcome already felt inevitable. The Egyptian forward made it 3-0 in the 50th minute with a trademark finish.
Salah’s goal effectively killed any remaining resistance from Qarabağ and underlined his importance to Liverpool’s attacking rhythm. Even on a night when several teammates got on the scoresheet, his movement, link-up play and constant threat remained central to everything the Reds did going forward.
Liverpool continued to pour forward, with Hugo Ekitiké and Mac Allister adding further goals as the scoreline grew increasingly emphatic, before Federico Chiesa completed the rout to make it six.
While the match will be remembered for the scale of the victory, Salah’s influence stood out — not just for his goal, but for the leadership and cutting edge he brought to Liverpool’s attack. It was another reminder that on Europe’s biggest nights, Liverpool’s number 11 remains one of their most reliable difference-makers.
