Two months ago Liverpool were eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain - a fate that could also be experienced by rivals Arsenal tonight.

Ahead of their crucial semi-final clash, Mohamed Salah has revealed he told players from the French club to 'go and win it' in a great show of sportsmanship.

The Reds are of course Premier League champions, crowned at the end of April by making sure the Gunners cannot mathematically catch them, in what has been a stellar first season on the scene for Arne Slot.



The only blips came in March, when the side were first dumped out of Europe and then lost the Carabao Cup final.

The Champions League journey came to an end after a round of 16 tie with PSG was split one goal apiece after three hours of football, then the French side clearly came out on top 4-1 in an Anfield penalty shootout.

"I have to be honest.

They were very unlucky.

"Then they came to Anfield.

The first, no."

Understandably so, the 32-year-old was left downtrodden at the missed opportunity to add a second Champions League winners' medal to his cabinet.

After all, at the time it was unclear if it would be his last chance or not.

But accepting his side had just lost to a team who looked even at that earlier stage to be possible competition winners, in a sportsmanly way he wished PSG's players well in their quest.

"It was their day and I shook the players' hands afterward, I said to them: 'Congratulations, go win it!' and that was it."
