Slot doesn't link Salah's penalty miss to contract situation

On Wednesday, Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League group stage, but team captain Mohamed Salah missed a penalty during the match. The Reds' head coach, Arne Slot, commented on the incident.

Details: According to the Dutch manager, Salah's penalty miss is not connected to the uncertainty surrounding the Egyptian forward's future.

Quote:

"The penalty miss by Mo Salah was not caused by any distraction due to his contract situation.

This is not the case. A penalty miss can happen, but it doesn't mean Mo is distracted by contract talks.

Reminder: Salah's contract with Liverpool runs until the summer of 2025. He has previously stated publicly that the club has yet to make him an offer for an extension.
