Liverpool star Mohamed Salah expressed his disappointment on social media following the news that Manchester United’s victory over Chelsea had dashed Liverpool’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
With a convincing 4-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford, United ensured that Liverpool would miss out on a seventh consecutive season of Champions League football. Mohamed Salah took to his Instagram and Twitter to share his thoughts on the matter.
He acknowledged that there were no excuses for the team’s failure to secure a place in next year’s Champions League. As a club of Liverpool’s stature, Salah emphasized that qualifying for such a prestigious competition should be the minimum expectation.
Here is what Salah had to say via his social media accounts:
“I’m totally devastated. There’s absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything we needed to make it to next year’s Champions League and we failed.”
“We are Liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. I am sorry but it’s too soon for an uplifting or optimistic post. We let you and ourselves down.”
UCL disappointment for the Reds
Liverpool obviously have a rich European heritage and has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the continental stage. Missing out on the tournament represents a setback for the team and serves as a reminder of the high standards they set for themselves.
England’s most successful European team not participating in the UCL is a shocker, but the Reds can only do so much from this point onwards. However, Salah is a “mentality monster” and The Egyptian international’s commitment and desire to compete at the highest level were evident in his message.
As the season draws to a close, Liverpool will surely take time to reflect on their performance and regroup for future challenges. The disappointment of missing out on the Champions League will fuel their determination to bounce back and reclaim their place among Europe’s elite.
Salah’s message should serve as a reminder that Liverpool and the fans of the club expect more, and so is the case for the players and their self-expectations. They will strive to deliver in the seasons to come, fingers crossed.
