No matter how much Jurgen Klopp has tried to play down the animosity between Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, its clear the two Liverpool players are far from on the best of terms. Over the years during their time together at the Premier League, the two players have seen clear cracks in their relationship, ones which have been alluded to on scores of occasions.

Look at this, Mohamed Salah was stoned by Senegalese supporters yesterday after they lost.
This is all shades of wrong, the spirit of football is no more.
What if Senegal had lost yesterday? That means they would have killed the Egyptian players.

And with fans well aware of the disjoint between the two, one Senegalese fan decided he wanted to try and rile Salah up as he arrived to the country with Egypt. Video footage of a fan shouting Sadio Mane constantly in Salah’s face has gone viral with the Liverpool player seen looking towards the supporter before heading away without a reply.
This was among one of the string of tactics deployed by the home side fans in a bid to ruffle the feathers of the Egyptian players when they took on Senegal in the FIFA 2022 World Cup qualifier. Constant jeering, throwing of missiles and shining lasers was the theme of the night with the trick working as Salah ended up skying his penalty to send the hosts through to the imminent marquee tournament.
The woeful visuals have since seen Egypt file a complaint, one where they have levelled accusations of racism at the home fans who stormed the pitch after the clash to try and assault Salah.
