The Egyptian star Mohamed Salah continued to shine with Liverpool and to practice his hobby of shaking the net to lead his team to a precious two-goal win without a response to Leipzig in the first leg of the Champions League final.
Liverpool made a huge step towards qualifying for the quarter-finals in the tournament, as the match made it easier for the team to play in the second leg.
The first half of the match ended in a goalless draw, but Liverpool rose up in the second half and won with two goals scored by Salah (53) and Senegalese Sadio Mane (58).
The match between the two teams was transferred to Budapest due to the German authorities not allowing the Liverpool team to enter Germany in light of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
The "Lever" won today's match after 3 consecutive defeats in the English Premier League, as Liverpool's ambition was to restore its balance this season through this confrontation in which it outperformed Leipzig technically stable under the leadership of its technical director Julian Nagelsmann.
The three defeats kept Liverpool out of the Premier League title this season, although he started the season as a strong candidate to defend the title he regained last season after being absent from the podium for 30 years.
Injuries at Liverpool cast a shadow over the team's career this season.
