Mohamed Salah has finally opened up about his relationship with former teammate Sadio Mane.
Under Jurgen Klopp, they led Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League glory, netting hundreds of goals in the process.
But while the goals flowed on the pitch, not everything was as smooth behind the scenes.
Speaking to France Football, Salah said there was “tension” between him and Mane during their time together at Anfield.

Despite the rivalry talk, Salah pointed out a key stat many may have forgotten.
People can think what they want; it’s their right,” he said when asked about claims of being selfish.
“But I invite everyone to note that the person who provided Mane with the most assists is me (18).”
It’s a classic case of “pass and shoot” — even if there wasn’t much passing of warm smiles off the pitch.
Mane and Salah played together for five seasons, winning nearly everything there was to win.
