Pharaoh is a world star, Real Madrid player who asked Salah for his shirt

Mo was the most sought-after item by Madrid's players

Although Liverpool in the second leg did not really come close to overcoming Real Madrid's three-goal deficit at Anfield, the Merseyside side never gave up and searched throughout the 90 minutes for at least one goal-scoring opportunity to reduce the aggregate lead, with the Reds' attack being held at bay by a well-organised Madrid defensive unit in their own half.

 

 

On this occasion, Egypt's Mohamed Salah's incredible build-up play was unable to find the back of the net thanks to the great covering work of defenders such as Nacho Fernández and Antonio Rudiger, when the Reds' star went from strength to strength and his most important interventions were a couple of passes misused by Darwin Nunez.

Under that line of play throughout the 90 minutes, the final whistle of the central referee signalled Liverpool's elimination by a 6-2 aggregate scoreline, causing the on-field rivalry to disappear and the good wishes between players to flood the Santiago Bernabeu pitch, starring the Reds' attacking star, Mohamed Salah, who was quickly sought out by Éder Militao to ask the Egyptian for that traditional exchange of shirts.

While coach Carlo Ancelotti and his defensive players prepared hard to stop the Pharaoh during the second leg, showing great respect for his footballing qualities, after the match that admiration for Salah continued in Brazilian defender Éder Mlitao, who now has the shirt of the most important man in Liverpool's history and one of the most important in Europe in recent years.
