Liverpool player Mohamed Salah, who is a devout Muslim, frequently receives criticism for his annual Christmas photo post including his wife and two daughters, this time dressed in matching pajamas. However, he views the action as a sign of respect.
Salah and his wife Magi have raised their daughters, Makka, 10, and Kayan, 4, in a largely Christian nation. Since the girls are accustomed to Christmas, Salah wants to make sure they get to enjoy it while learning about different religions.
On Christmas Day, Salah shared a photo of the family sitting in front of a giant gingerbread man on a Christmas tree. The four of them appeared to have been having a great time together. Jordan Henderson, Dejan Lovren, Fabinho, Kostas Tsimikas, Harvey Elliott, Alexis Mac Allister, and Cody Gakpo were among the former and current Liverpool players who enjoyed it.

Meanwhile, there are many who are joining in the fun as they remarked about Mo Salah’s annual Christmas post being a “curse” on Liverpool, while citing poor results in previous years following similar posts.

Many have also gone onto term Salah’s un-Islamic practice of celebrating Christmas as a curse on him with his performances typically dipping in the league after his Christmas tree picture. However, the Liverpool player who has created a record in the 2024-25 season with 15 goals and 10 assists, the first player in the Premier League to touch double figures in both aspects before Christmas before the myth of the curse with his goal against Aston Villa immediately after Christmas a few years back.
Reactions of netizens
Both positive and negative opinions quickly flooded the Instagram and Twitter/X posts’ comments sections. One theory said that Salah and Liverpool, who are currently leading the Premier League and Champions League tables, appear to lose form soon after the Egyptian posts his yearly message. “Liverpool doom incoming,” commented one Arsenal supporter, while another Manchester City supporter remarked: “He’s done it again! The race for the crown is underway.
Such a statement is not supported by any concrete evidence as on Christmas Day 2019, Salah shared a photo of himself and his family before the Reds won the Premier League to dismiss his annual wish on the festival causing any curse on him or Liverpool.
