Paris Saint-Germain’s triumph over Liverpool in the Champions League last 16 sparked a wave of reactions, with the official French Ligue 1 account taking a cheeky jab at Mohamed Salah.
The French giants booked their place in the quarter-finals after edging past Liverpool in a penalty shootout (4-1) following two hard-fought 1-1 draws in the home and away legs. Salah, who had been a key figure for the Reds throughout the competition, struggled to make an impact, failing to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma across both encounters.
Shortly after the dramatic conclusion on Tuesday night, the French league’s official account on X wasted no time in poking fun at the Egyptian forward. They shared an image of PSG’s Nuno Mendes holding a card featuring Salah’s picture a clear praise to the left-back’s ability to neutralize the Liverpool star over both legs.
Salah had been aiming for another deep Champions League run to bolster his credentials for the world’s top individual prizes. However, with Liverpool’s journey cut short, PSG will now turn their attention to the quarter-finals, where they await the winner of the Aston Villa vs. Club Brugge tie, with Villa holding a 3-1 lead.
