Salah's white drama

Direct Chronicle

There are desires for revenge that are kept private and try to collect coldly, treacherously.

Others, like Mohamed Salah's with Madrid, are publicized non-stop and hotly persecuted, even though four years have passed.

The Egyptian did not fool anyone, he wanted his and he wanted it now, in Paris.

His injury in the 2018 final at half an hour due to a hookup with Sergio Ramos was an undisguisable raw wound.

And the next time he met the whites, last season in the quarterfinals, he delved into his personal drama.

But he still had Paris and Courtois left, who got three very clear from him already with 0-1.

When everything was over at 11:30 p.m., he stood alone, with his arms akimbo, barely consoled by Hazard and Alaba.

It took him a long time for someone from his team to approach him.

It was Klopp, who hugged him in the German coach's round of condolences.

The fact is that he was in a hurry to resolve his personal affairs.

All the rush left by the problem with the access of his fans to the stands of Saint Denis that delayed the start of the final around 35 minutes.

Many Englishmen were still queuing, others were facing the police, who repelled them with pepper spray, when he began his task.

From the outset, a lot of activity, but little skill.

The forward was in all the threat that his team concentrated around the 20th minute, with several occasions in a row.

His attempts were centered or lazy.

The most dangerous was taken down by Courtois.

The first of the Belgian's long list, who after two minutes really embittered Mané with a very tricky shot down the right that ended up hitting the post.

That was the first moment of Liverpool,

The overcrowded stands of Liverpool (the corridors had disappeared, packed with fans) remained dead as a funeral and there, in the midst of the network depression, the only one who rebelled was Salah.

Having pending accounts always helps.

He first clenched his hands, then his jaw, then his feet.

He was the great threat of Madrid in the final rush.

But the shot from him warped, a shot at the far post and another crossed ended up watered down in Courtois's mitts.

The Egyptian's nightmare against the whites left the most painful extension.

The first time he appeared at the Bernabéu, in the spring of 2016 with Roma (he was on loan from Chelsea), he left a catalog of dribbles, runs and failures in the definition.

In 2018 he left kyiv in tears.

He was left wanting last year in vacuum-packed football.

And his drama heightened his drama in Paris.

No Africa Cup, no World Cup and no Champions.
