"I think it says a lot about his mentality that he missed the penalty just before half-time. And that was of course a difficult moment because after 45 minutes being 1-0 up was ridiculous if you looked at the run of play. But that happened so many times to us, so for us it's not so ridiculous. And then to come out second half and perform like that, the great assist on Hugo and the goal he scored was a trademark of him."
"Salah was outstanding in the second half, laying on the assist for Hugo Ekitike to give Liverpool the advantage in the tie, with his goal quickly followed by Liverpool's third as Ryan Gravenberch tucked home on the rebound after Cakir had thwarted Salah again. After Liverpool saw an own goal from Wilfried Singo ruled out for offside, Salah's moment arrived when he bent home in typical fashion to become the first African player to score 50 Champions League goals."
Liverpool advanced past Galatasaray in the Champions League last-16 with a commanding 4-0 second-leg victory, overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit. Mohamed Salah missed a penalty just before half-time but responded with an outstanding second-half display, providing an assist for Hugo Ekitike and scoring a trademark goal to become the first African player to reach 50 Champions League goals. Manager Arne Slot praised Salah's mentality for responding positively to the penalty miss. Liverpool will face Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals, seeking revenge after losing to them on penalties in last season's round of 16.
