Sadly, it wasn’t to be for the Egyptian king in 2022, but he still has plenty of time to right those wrongs and there is no one who better knows that fact than the man himself.

Speaking in the aftermath of the brutal final loss, while the Senegalese contingent celebrated only yards away, Salah showed his elite mentality.

He spoke about his team's incredible workload having had four of their knockout matches go to extra-time.

The 29-year-old also touched on revenge, with Egypt ​set to face Senegal for a spot in the 2022 World Cup.

"We played four matches all 120 minutes in about 12 days, but it’s in the past now," he said.
"We have the games against them next month and inshallah we will take revenge on them."​

Salah, meanwhile, has already returned to England ahead of reuniting with Liverpool.

And he's reportedly told Jurgen Klopp that he wants to play against Leicester City on Thursday.

Salah's enjoying an ultra-prolific campaign this season. He's already bagged an impressive 23 goals in all competitions.

He has 16 Premier League goals to his name this term ahead of resuming his league venture with Liverpool this week.

Egypt Sends Sadio Mane's Senegal Strong Message

Egypt has sent Senegal a fiery warning after the Lions of Teranga stunned the Pharaohs to lift the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations title in Cameroon.

The two African football heavyweights locked horns in a thrilling final on Sunday, February 6, at Olembe's Paul Biya Stadium.

Senegal emerged victors in that clash after post-match penalties, with Sadio Mane, who had missed a penalty in regulation time firing his side to glory with a fine strike in the shootouts.
