Roma send good luck message to former player Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah may have left Roma - and helped knock them out the Champions League - but he remains in the heart of the Italian club.

Salah joined Liverpool from Roma last summer in a £36million move, and has been a revelation on Merseyside with his goal-scoring exploits.

This has been crowned by Mohamed Salah helping Liverpool reach the Champions League final, beating Roma 7-6 on aggregate in the last four.

Mohamed Salah was key in Liverpool's 5-2 first leg victory at Anfield, scoring twice and setting up two further goals. Although he was quieter in Italy as Roma won 4-2, the Egyptian and his team mates won through.

Despite their disappointment, Roma showed they still have plenty of respect for their former player by wishing him and Liverpool the best of luck when they play Real Madrid in the final.

A tweet from the official Roma club account read: 'It hurts so much that Roma’s incredible dream of going all the way to Kiev is over but you’ll be there in your new colours. Good luck in the final Mo Salah'.

This was accompanied by hashtags associated with the two clubs - #ForzaRoma and #YNWA - and a graphic of Salah wearing a half-Roma, half-Liverpool shirt.

Liverpool fans will hope the good luck charm pays off for Salah, and he can continue his stellar form for the final.

Salah has scored 43 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool, 10 of them coming in 12 Champions League fixtures.
