Mohamed Salah tried to restrain himself, avoiding venting his anger on television after not getting a single minute of playing time in the PSG vs Liverpool match.
The striker, a four-time Premier League Golden Boot winner, was not included in the starting lineup for Liverpool's first leg of the quarter-final at the Parc des Princes.
The English team was outplayed for most of the game, but manager Arne Slot didn't even bring Salah on from the bench.
The Egyptian star was asked to warm up but was ultimately ignored, giving the opportunity to 18-year-old Trey Nyoni, as Liverpool were thrashed 0-2.
Salah caused outrage after being left out of the squad late last year. He told the media that he was put in a difficult position and did not have a good relationship with coach Slot.
This time, after finishing his stretching exercises at the Parc des Princes, Mohamed Salah chose to remain silent. He smiled and shook hands with commentators Steven Gerrard, Steve McManaman, and Laura Woods on the live broadcast on TNT Sports.
Salah made it clear that he didn't want to give an interview and went straight to the dressing room. However, some fans believe the 33-year-old striker was angry with Slot.
Someone wrote on X: "Salah is holding back his emotions. He wanted to express his thoughts on TNT but knows it's no use now."
Another fan responded: "Clearly Salah doesn't like to speak his mind about the Dutch manager to Gerrard and McManaman."
Another fan commented: "What a sad image. Arne Slot has demoralized everyone at Liverpool."
It is understood that Salah will leave Liverpool next summer, after he and the club reached an agreement to terminate his contract a year early.
