Liverpool star Mohamed Salah became the third Arab player to win the European Super Cup when the Reds won the title yesterday against Chelsea.
Salah became the first Egyptian player to win the European Super Cup, but the third Arab after the Algerian Rabeh Madjer and the Moroccan Ashraf Hakimi. The start was with Madjer, who led Porto to win the Champions League title in 1987, then to win the European Super after his team defeated Ajax Amsterdam Dutch, with the same score 1-0. Madjer did not participate in both games.
The Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi won the European Super Cup in 2017, when Real Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-1, and Hakimi also did not play this match.
Salah will be the first Egyptian and Arab player to play in this tournament and has largely contributed to the super-European re-embracing of the "Reds", after an absence of 14 years since the coronation of the title in 2005.
Liverpool won the title at the expense of Chelsea after going 5-4 on penalties after the end of the original draw and extended 2-2 in their match yesterday at the Vodafone Arena. Turkish city of Istanbul.
