Liverpool's Mo Salah gets Moamen Zakaria involved in FA Cup celebrations

Mohamed Salah was loving the celebrations as Liverpool won the FA Cup on Saturday.

For the second time this season, the Reds won a major domestic honour at Wembley Stadium via a penalty shootout after 120 minutes of goalless football against Chelsea. Yeh, seriously.

Liverpool eventually kept their quadruple dreams alive when Alisson Becker denied Mason Mount from 12 yards and Konstantinos Tsimikas duly smashed home the deciding spot-kick.

The only downside for Salah is that he wasn’t on the pitch to make his own stamp on the shootout and that wasn’t because Jurgen Klopp had substituted him for tactical reasons.

Rather, the Ballon d’Or contender was forced off with an injury during the first-half having gone to ground, and the extent of the crock has yet to be established.

However, whatever it is that forced Salah to watch Liverpool win world football’s oldest cup competitions from the sidelines, it certainly didn’t prevent him from lapping up the victory.

That’s because Salah made more than a few appearances in the celebratory footage that always does the rounds after trophy triumphs from the pitch to the tunnel to the dressing room.

But there was a particularly special element to Salah’s celebrations this time around because we was joined by former Egypt teammate Moamen Zakaria, as confirmed by Egypt’s most popular sports website FilGoal.

Salah uploaded a photograph and video to his Instagram story after the final that showed Zakaria joining in the festivities with the Liverpool squad as they danced around the dressing room.

Zakaria was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) back in 2019 and hasn’t made an official appearance since 2018.

Nevertheless, the 34-year-old could be seen having a wonderful time
