Mohamed Salah’s struggles at Wembley have shown no sign of ending, with the Liverpool talisman now enduring a run of eight consecutive appearances at the iconic stadium without registering a goal or an assist. For a player renowned for his lethal finishing and ability to produce on the big stage, this barren streak is both surprising and frustrating for fans.
The Egyptian forward has often been Liverpool’s go-to man in decisive moments, yet for reasons that remain unclear, Wembley has not been a happy hunting ground for him. Whether it’s the intensity of the fixtures, the defensive set-ups of opponents, or simply misfortune, Salah’s performances under the famous arch have consistently fallen short of his usual world-class standards.
This latest outing once again saw him work hard and get into promising positions, but the final touch or decisive pass continued to elude him. His lack of output in such high-profile matches has now become a talking point among supporters and pundits, with many wondering when – or if – he will finally break the curse.
As Liverpool continue to compete in cup competitions, Salah will likely have more chances to put this unwanted record behind him. Until then, the “Wembley curse” remains an uncomfortable statistic for one of the Premier League’s most prolific attackers.
