Mohamed Salah’s boots go on display in British Museum
However, the Galacticos managed to regain form and performed reasonably well in the Champions League and are now looking for a third consecutive Champions League title in four years.
In visible agony, and clearly devestated, Salah was forced off; with Adam Lallana coming on in his place.
The Egypt team said it hopes Salah has only sprained shoulder ligaments, and could still play at the World Cup next month in Russian Federation.
Salah has had an incredible season, scoring 44 for Liverpool in all competitions.
According to a report in Egyptian media, business tycoon Naguib Sawris has announced on Twitter that he will be fasting on Saturday in support for Liverpool player Salah. After dominating the opening stages, there was an immediate dip in Liverpool’s performance.
Leading goalscorer Mohamed Salah was guided off the pitch by the Reds training staff, after suffering an apparent shoulder injury at the half hour mark. Despite a gallant second-half effort, there was a sense of inevitability about Real’s triumph as Salah nursed his wounds.
For many Muslims around the world, this year’s Champions League final was going to be a bit extra special courtesy Mo Salah. The Spaniards won five straight European Cup trophies in the 1950s. “To have someone who scores and assists goals is a rarity”.
Former Chelsea FC star Lampard still believes Salah is capable of exploiting the potential weakness in the Real Madrid team in Kiev on Saturday evening. Ronaldo achieved the feat nine times, with Real winning eight of those times and drawing one. Fittingly, Zidane had predicted Madrid’s latest rewriting of the history books when he faced the press on Friday.
Conceding Real has more quality in depth in its squad, Klopp added that “tactics in football are there to bring a better opponent on your level and when they’re on your level you can beat them”.
Asked about his goalkeeper Loris Karius’ mistakes, Klopp didn’t want to blame the player. Both of them will no doubt be aware that the player that lifts the Champions League trophy tonight in Kiev will have put himself ahead in the race for the Ballon D’Or.
The German keeper had earlier handed Real a 51st minute lead when he threw the ball straight at striker Karim Benzema and the ball rolled into the unguarded net off the Frenchman’s leg.
