English media praises Salah after heroic performance

CAIRO – 11 April 2018: Liverpool’s Egyptian winger, Mohamed Salah, led his team to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2008 after a glorious victory over Manchester City in the second leg of the quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Salah’s participation with his team was in doubt, as he suffered an injury in the first leg, which Liverpool won 3-0, with Salah scoring the first goal. However, his return was great news for Liverpool fans that travelled to Manchester to support their team.

Manchester City opened the score early in the game by Gabriel Jesus, and their fans started to believe in their ability to make a comeback, but Salah and his teammates returned in the game and won 2-1.



Salah was the hero of the night for Liverpool fans, as he scored the equalizer for his team after 10 minutes from the start of the second half.

Salah’s performance impressed the English media after the game, with the Guardian describing him as Liverpool’s savior.



Mirror magazine, meanwhile, claimed that Salah was better than Manchester City’s whole team.



Former English international player Frank Lamprad, who shared Chelsea’s dressing room with Salah in 2015, compared the Egyptian winger with Barcelona’s Lionel Messi after the game, saying, “Sometimes we watch Lionel Messi and he’s great at just standing in areas. Salah has started to do that – just standing in areas, and all of a sudden the ball comes to him and he goes.”

The Egyptian winger has had an amazing run with his team in the UEFA Champions League, scoring nine goals with his team and becoming the first Egyptian player to reach the Champions League semi-finals.
