Dubbed the “Picasso of Basel,” Mohamed Salah showcased his prowess by scoring his first goal in the Champions League against Chelsea on Wednesday, contributing to the Swiss team’s victory with a score of 2-1. Despite his individual success, the Egyptian international midfielder humbly redirected the spotlight to his teammates in his post-match comments.
“I want to say congratulations to our entire team for this victory. I hope we can win the next game in the same way. We deserved this victory,” expressed Salah, as reported by UEFA.com.
Looking ahead, FC Basel is set to face Schalke 04 on October 1 in their second match of the competition, hoping to build on the success and momentum achieved in the game against Chelsea. Salah’s recognition of the team’s collective effort reflects a team-oriented mentality that contributes to their success on the pitch.
