Mo Salah Left The Champions League In Tears And Egyptian Fans Fear The Worst
It goes without saying the ‘The Egyptian King’ Mo Salah has the weight of expectations of a nation on his shoulders at the FIFA World Cup in Russia next month.
Liverpool have found themselves a host of new fans as-well in Egypt and many are watching the Champions League final tonight in Kiev against Real Madrid.
While Real Madrid have a strong following in Dubai, it’s safe to say, that in a City with over half a million Egyptians, most are supporting Salah and Liverpool tonight.
This is the moment Salah suffered a shoulder injury after a tackle by Sergio Ramos
Salah immediately knew it was serious
