Mohamed Salah has progressed into one of the world's best footballers, but it wasn't always plain sailing for the Egypt international.
After impressing at Swiss side Basel, Salah moved to Chelsea in 2014 to play under Jose Mourinho.
He hoped it would be a breakthrough move in his career, but he soon learned that would not be the case.
A lack of game time under Mourinho meant that he was loaned to Fiorentina in 2015, before then joining Roma on another temporary deal later that year.
He then signed for the latter of those two Serie A clubs on a permanent basis at the beginning of the 2016-17 season, bringing an end to his disappointing Chelsea career.
Since then, however, he hasn't stopped progressing.
Now a Champions League and Premier League winner with Liverpool, Salah is considered as one of the best - if not the best - forwards in the world at the moment.
Looking back on his time at the Blues, he's insisted that he wasn't given the right advice about a transfer to Chelsea, as he was never going to get the playing time he wanted.
“When I look back, [I had] bad advice with the situation," Salah told GQ magazine.
He continued by explaining how it impacted his mental state, and that he needed to move on from the club in order to prove Mourinho and the Blues wrong.
“It was so tough for me, mentally. I couldn't handle the pressure I had from the media, coming from outside.
“I was not playing that much. I felt, ‘No, I need to go’.
“You have two choices: to tell the people that they are right to put you on a bench, or to prove them wrong.
“I needed to prove them wrong.”
He's certainly done that since, and with two Premier League golden boots to his name already, the Liverpool man is now being compared to some of the division's all-time great forwards.
His legacy is of course still unknown, but despite being 29, he continues to show improvement in his all-round game, and further individual accolades are bound to follow.
