Mohamed Salah has spoken out for the first time since Liverpool were defeated by Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday.
The Egyptian and Liverpool were denied by a string of outstanding saves by Los Blancos keeper Thibaut Courtois as they fell to a 1-0 defeat in Paris courtesy of a goal from Vinicius Junior.
On a personal level, Salah has had a brilliant season and has been rewarded for his efforts with the FWA Player of the season and Premier League Fans Player of the year awards.
After securing both domestic cups, Jurgen Klopp’s team missed out on the Premier League title by a point before suffering Champions League heartbreak in Paris.
Salah took to Twitter on Thursday to say part of him “wishes” next season “starts again tomorrow” following the club’s Champions League final defeat.
“I cannot express in words how much we wanted to bring that trophy back to Liverpool but in the end we couldn’t,” wrote Salah on social media.
“I cannot thank the fans enough for your support. It has been a very long season but a part of me wishes the next one starts again tomorrow.”
Mohamed Salah also stated he would give up on individual accolades for a chance to replay the Final
Salah took to Twitter on Thursday to say whilst he is honoured by his personal awards, he would give them all up to replay the UCL final.
‘Being recognised by the fans and by the sports journalists in the same season is something special that I will never forget. I would however give all those personal awards up for a chance at replaying that final, but that is not how football works,’ Salah wrote.
