Egypt in tears over Salah, Reason will shock you
According to Egyptian football journalist Marwan Ahmed to BBC World Service’s Sportsworld programme:
“Honestly, I think it’s a nightmare. There are no words to describe it. There was a minute of silence after we’d seen Salah go down and then when he went down the second time, we knew it wasn’t good and that he would leave the pitch.
No Egyptian wanted to see that happen, we’ve never had an Egyptian in the Champions League final. It’s really sad – I can’t find the exact words to describe it. Some people were in tears.
I hope it won’t affect his World Cup chances. He’s the greatest player in Egypt’s history, we haven’t reached the World Cup for 28 years and we’re just too close for all of our dreams to be shattered.”
