What Salah Did In The Tunnel Before Kick-Off Sums Up What Kind Of Person He Is

Mohamed Salah is a class act, and what he did moments before kick-off perfectly proves that sentiment.

Liverpool entertained AS Roma in front of a raucous Anfield crowd in the Champions League semi-final first-leg, beating their Italian visitors 5-2 in an incredible evening.

And as the two teams lined up in the tunnel, Salah greeted his former teammates.

He approached each player, embracing them with a hug. Brilliant. What a bloke.

Salah's gesture didn't go unnoticed. Everyone loved what he did. Here's some reaction on Twitter:

Salah spent a season on loan at AS Roma, before turning his deal permanent. After enjoying a successful stint in the Italian capital, Liverpool subsequently splashed out a believed £36.9 million to acquire his services.

And since returning to England, he's performed heroically for Liverpool scoring freely.

Already weighing in with an incredible 43 goals, including 31 in the Premier League. Not to mention 10 goals in the Champions League. Lethal.

'The Egyptian King', ladies and gentleman.
