Jurgen Klopp Premier League title defense was hit with setbacks from key players who have been injured.
But the Reds were able to show their class in the final round of games to pick up a ticket for the Champions League next season.
Liverpool finished in third place following their 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace on the final day.
Mohamed Salah who has been inspirational for Liverpool's top four chase has been rewarded with an individual award by the fans.
The former Chelsea and Roma star has been voted Liverpool's Standard Chartered Men's Player of the Season for 2020-21.
Salah scored 31 times in 51 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this season.
The Egyptian international had to beat team mates, Fabinho who came in second place and Nathaniel Phillips finishing third to the award.
Mohamed Salah appreciated his fans and team mates while he picked up the award at the AXA training center.
Salah said: “Of course, I’m happy to win this award, especially as it is voted for by fans, but winning our final games and qualifying for the Champions League was the most important thing.
“I think I have played OK this season, but it’s not about me – it’s about the team.
“For us as a team, I think if we’d had the fans in the stadium, our position, our situation, would have been much better. We suffered a lot this season with missing the fans.
“So I am happy in the last game of the season we played with our fans. It was great to see them back in the stadium.”
