Mo Salah had an instant internet-breaking reaction to Spurs beating Manchester United in the Europa League final on Thursday night.
Spurs went into the game having tasted victory over United on three occasions this season but went one better with a fourth on the big stage in Bilbao.
Brennan Johnson scored the only goal of a scrappy game to finally end Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought and secure qualification for next season’s Champions League.
There was a feeling of pure euphoria amongst Spurs fans and players, while Ange Postecoglou was full of emotion after a difficult period was capped off with a trophy.The Australian had repeatedly said that he always wins silverware in his second season and did so in his 100th game in charge of Spurs.
And after the full-time whistle was blown, Liverpool star Mo Salah – a scorer against Spurs in the 2019 Champions League final in Madrid – brought up that now iconic comment as he congratulated the North London outfit.
On his official X account, Salah wrote: “He did say he’d win in his second season. Congratulations!”.
Salah’s post was met by many responses by Liverpool supporters, who felt he knew exactly what he was doing.
Salah wasn’t the only Liverpool legend to weigh in on the result. Jamie Carragher was busy on CBS Sports Golazo’s coverage alongside Micah Richards and a debuting Roy Keane, who received quite the reception.
However, Carragher still find time to poke fun at United’s disappointment. Flipping an infamous phrase from a Sir Alex Ferguson team talk about Spurs, Carragher wrote: “Lads, it’s Man United!”
