(Video) New footage reveals what Mo Salah actually did following the final whistle in Frankfurt last night
Mo Salah may not have been among Liverpool’s five scorers in their dominant 5–1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night, but he still found himself at the center of post-match discussions. Having started on the bench and only featured for the final 16 minutes, the Egyptian forward couldn’t add to his modest total of three goals this season, despite a few late chances.
Initial reports from journalists at the game claimed the 33-year-old “headed straight down the tunnel” at full time and appeared “frustrated.” His decision to remove Liverpool-related images from his X profile soon after also sparked concern among fans.
However, new footage shared by Lewis Steele on Thursday morning provided a clearer picture. The 18-second clip showed Salah pausing to applaud the travelling supporters before walking towards the tunnel—proving he didn’t immediately storm off as some reports suggested.
This video should help dispel the notion that Salah left in anger. It’s only natural that he feels frustrated given his current form, especially considering his high standards and leadership role under Arne Slot.
It’s also important to remember the emotional toll of losing close teammate Diogo Jota over the summer—a moment that visibly affected Salah when Jota’s name was sung at Anfield earlier this season.
While fans may wish for higher goal contributions from him, Salah has already given more to Liverpool than anyone could have asked since his arrival in 2017.
Now, during one of the most challenging periods of his Reds career, the Egyptian King deserves full support from fans—because few things would bring more joy than seeing that trademark Salah smile after scoring once again.
