What Mohamed Salah and Thiago Alcantara did on Wembley turf after winning FA Cup for Liverpool

Thiago Alcantara and Mohamed Salah shared a hilarious moment during Liverpool’s celebrations after their FA Cup final victory over Chelsea.

The Reds emerged victorious after Alisson saved Mason Mount’s spot kick before Kostas Tsimikas scored the winning penalty for a 6-5 shootout victory for the Reds. The game had gone to penalties after an enthralling, but goalless first 120 minutes of the tie where neither side could break the deadlock at Wembley.

And during the celebrations Thiago posed next to Salah while wearing a Salah mask. Thiago shared the photo on social media and recounted the iconic Salah chant from Reds fans. He tweeted: “Mo Salah! Mo Salah! Mo Salah! Running down the wing ..!!!.
