LONDON (Reuters) – Mohamed Salah of Liverpool is looking for another personal success as his team play Chelsea in the European Super Cup at the Vodafone Arena in Istanbul on Wednesday.
Salah led the Reds last season to win the Champions League, at the expense of Tottenham Hotspur, and became the first Egyptian player, and the third Arab player to win the most expensive title of the old continent.
If Salah succeeds in winning the European Super Cup this year, he will be the third Arab player to win the title of history, won by Algerian Rabah Madjer in Porto, Portugal, at the expense of from Ajax Amsterdam during the 1987-1988 season.
At that time, the tournament was two matches and Porto managed to win with the same score 1-0, but Madjer did not play either one or the other match and was off the list.
Moroccan Achraf Hakimi was also crowned Real Madrid for the 2017-2018 season, when the Royal Club beat Manchester United 2-1, but also did not participate in the meeting and was off the list.
Salah should play for Liverpool against Chelsea. He is the first Egyptian and Arab player to participate in this tournament. Salah is one of the most prominent Reds players and one of the main weapons of the German Juergen Klopp.
