Liverpool may have secured the result against Qarabag, but according to Mohamed Salah, there was only one true hero on the pitch.
In a powerful post-match revelation that has sent fans into debate and admiration, Salah confirmed that he personally handed his Man of the Match award to a teammate — admitting he didn’t deserve it himself.
And his reason? Pure respect.
“He Genuinely Saved Liverpool Today”
Speaking after the final whistle, the Liverpool talisman made a stunning confession:
> “I’ve handed the Man of the Match award to him because he’s the one who truly earned it, not me. He genuinely saved Liverpool today.”
Coming from Salah — a player who has built a career on decisive moments and big-game impact — the words carry serious weight.
This wasn’t a polite gesture. This was an acknowledgement of a performance that kept Liverpool alive when it mattered most.
