Salah did not make his mark in the match that Liverpool won 3-1, while the goals of the Senegalese team, Sadio Mane, the French Ibrahima Konate and the Colombian Luiz Diaz.
Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp, told the British newspaper, "Metro", that Egyptian star Mohamed Salah was "going through a difficult period", stressing that he was affected by his country's failure to qualify for the World Cup.
Mohamed Salah suffers from another frustrating match, as he missed an excellent opportunity in the first half, before being substituted after an hour.
In response to a question about replacing Salah, Klopp said: “I did nothing different from what I usually do,” and added: “Every player in this situation wants to score, and it is clear with all the stories about him, that Mohamed Salah wants to score as well, especially at this moment, But everything is fine.”
He continued, "It's a difficult period, both Salah and Mane have come back from Africa, which is not really easy. They were under tremendous pressure. Their coaches were part of that too, to put more pressure on them."
"I think now he needs time to sort things out and settle down, that's all," he concluded.
The match (against Benfica) was important for Salah and Sadio tonight, one player can score, the other unfortunately not, but everything will be fine.”
