Salah is probably too used to being the target of аggressive fans.

According to witnesses, Salah was not afraid at that time. He calmly wiped away his sweat, before being escorted by the security team into the tunnel.

This is not the first time Egypt’s number 10 has faced trouble from fans. During the match against Angola in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the striker playing for the Anfield home team was disrupted by three fans who rushed into the field and demanded to take pictures.

Mohamed Salah and his teammates started off their qualifying campaign impressively by crushing Djibouti by 6 goals without reply. As for the striker born in 1992, he rewarded himself with a “poker” shot.
