The recent critique of Mohamed Salah by notable pundits such as Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes has been deemed excessive, according to Salah's former Egypt colleague, Mohamed Zidan, who has fervently defended the Liverpool star. Salah has found the back of the net in his last two outings for the Reds and will be crucial to Liverpool's hopes of overcoming Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The entire team hasn't been performing well recently, and it's not just Salah whose form has dipped. It's unfair to put all the blame on him." Salah hit his 250th goal for Liverpool with his strike against Villa and continues to be the standout figure in Slot's squad.
