Mohamed Salah received strong support in Egypt after his surprising absence against Paris Saint-Germain sparked outrage. The decision taken by Arne Slot drew heavy criticism following Liverpool’s defeat in Paris, with many observers describing it as a humiliation for the national icon.
The Egyptian forward responded on the pitch by scoring against Fulham, sending a strong message before the return leg at Anfield.
In Egypt, reactions have been intense, with media and fans defending their star and rejecting the idea that he should carry the blame for the team’s struggles. Mohamed Salah finds himself at the center of the debate, as many believe his absence in the first leg deprived Liverpool of creativity and experience against PSG. Despite a season considered less dominant, he continues to deliver decisive performances and leadership in key moments.
As the decisive clash approaches, expectations are growing around the Egyptian forward, whose future remains uncertain. Interest from several leagues continues to fuel speculation about his next move, while this encounter could mark one of his final major European nights with Liverpool. The pressure is now on the coaching staff, as another controversial decision could intensify the debate, especially with Egypt firmly standing behind Mohamed Salah.
