Mohamed Salah had every right to be devastated after Liverpool FC’s disappointing season. Meanwhile, Newcastle United secured their small return to the UEFA Champions League in nearly two decades after drawing with Leicester on Monday.
Salah and his team will play in the UEFA Europa League for the first time since 2015-2016. The last time the team engaged, they reached the final of the competition. However, the team lost to Spanish giants, Sevilla.
Despite a difficult season, the Reds have recently enjoyed a seven-game winning streak, which has coincided with United’s uneven performance. But their slim chance of qualifying for the Champions League was all but wiped out by the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa last weekend.
