He may not have been able to help Liverpool on the pitch, but his support away from it was crucial for his team-mates before and after the game.
Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah, who was ruled out for this game due to a concussion against Newcastle during the weekend, made his way into the stands sporting a supportive jumper that said "Never Give Up", in an attempt to motivate Liverpool's footballers. Well, after the game concluded with Liverpool's historic 4-0 win, Salah's message made even more sense.
The player's intentions were confirmed once the game concluded, as he posted a picture of himself on Twitter with a short but eloquent caption.

Salah earned over 100,000 likes and over 25,000 retweets with his post, mainly due to the predominating excitement among Liverpool fans for this historic result.
Salah is expected to play for Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League Final, since he will most-likely be fit to play after the massive blow to his head. The Reds' rival will be revealed on Wednesday.
