Mohamed Salah on the Bench for Liverpool’s Key UEFA Clash Against PSG
April 14, 2026, 18:00
Liverpool is set to face PSG in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals this evening, with Mohamed Salah being named among the substitutes.
The Egyptian forward was also not included in the starting XI during the first leg, a decision sure to frustrate fans eager to see him play.
Salah’s Future Uncertain
According to Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport, “Mohamed Salah is on the bench for the second leg quarterfinal against PSG. It might be his last match with Liverpool in the Champions League.”
Hawkins shared this information on X, suggesting that this crucial matchup could mark the end of Salah’s Champions League journey with Liverpool.
Liverpool’s Quest for a Comeback
To overturn the 2-0 deficit they face, Liverpool will need key offensive players on the field from the outset. Salah, who recently scored against Fulham, would have brought significant experience and skill to the match.
Despite being a top-tier player, his leadership qualities and tactical awareness could also be pivotal as Liverpool seeks to progress in the tournament.
Liverpool’s current performance in the Premier League has been unsatisfactory, placing them in fifth position. The team is eager to advance in the UEFA Champions League, but achieving that without one of their all-time greats could be a tall order.
Manager Arne Slot has received considerable scrutiny over his selection choices this season. If Liverpool exits the UEFA Champions League with Salah sidelined, that decision may further strain his rapport with supporters.
