Mohamed Salah's dismal record continued on Tuesday night, as the Egyptian forward had a lacklustre performance in Liverpool's 3-1 Champions League victory over Benfica.

Salah has become the Merseyside club's leading scorer with 28 goals across all competitions this season. During the season, he has also racked up 11 assists. The 29-year-old forward, on the other hand, has had a rough few weeks.

Salah has only scored once in the last seven games, with his lone goal coming against Brighton the previous month in the Premier League.

Apart from that, the Liverpool star has been the centre of attention due to his contract dispute with the club, which has made the news for all the wrong reasons.

After a penalty shootout loss to Senegal, Salah also witnessed Egypt's elimination from this year's World Cup in Qatar. The top forward missed his penalty attempt, costing him the game.

The star forward's performance against Watford this past weekend was undoubtedly one of his worst for the Reds, as he failed to register a single shot on target and was replaced in the 69th minute by Sadio Mane.

Salah's fans were hoping to return to form in the Champions League quarterfinal against Benfica. While the overall performance impressed the Anfield crowd, the Egyptian put forth another poor showing away from home.

Mohamed Salah could only complete two of his five take-on, with a pass success rate of only 77%. He barely won 29% of his duels and squandered two significant opportunities, and Salah also failed to complete any of his crosses.

In the 61st minute, Klopp was obliged to replace Salah with the in-form Diogo Jota to ensure his team's victory.

Liverpool fans get bothered as Mohamed Salah's poor run continues
Liverpool is in the midst of one of the most crucial periods of their season, with Jurgen Klopp's side going for a historic quadruple.

On the other hand, Mohamed Salah's lack of form is a huge source of anxiety for both the management and the fans as they prepare to travel to Manchester City this weekend.

The Egyptian forward's dismal performance against Benfica has left many supporters questioning if the 29-year-old should be pulled from the starting XI for the crucial match.
