Prior to the heated football match on Tuesday against Barcelona, it seemed the odds were not in Liverpool's favor. The fact that >Mohamed Salah - the team's >leading goal scorer - was not playing that night pushed the odds even lower.
But, the English football club came out in full force during the 90-minute game, beating Barcelona with a 4-0 score. The team won the Champions League semi-finals, and will play against either Tottenham or Ajax next for the European title.
Though Salah was ruled out of the match due to a concussion, he stood on the sidelines in support of his team. He even donned a shirt with the words "never give up" written on it.
On Saturday, the 26-year-old Egyptian footballer was stretchered off the pitch during a game against Newcastle. This came after Newcastle's goalkeeper collided with Salah in the final 20 minutes of the game.
"Precaution? No, it's a concussion, which means he is not allowed to play. He feels OK, but it is not good enough from a medical point of view," said Liverpool's coach Jürgen Norbert Klopp, in a statement.
But, Liverpool never gave up, and Salah's motivational t-shirt was more than fitting considering the results.
"We never do, Mo!"
The celebrations were quite intense
"Wonderpool"
"It's the t-shirt"
"On fire wallahy"
